To support and uplift those in need — including the poor, underprivileged, refugees, widows, orphans and vulnerable individuals — by providing essential health services, education, financial relief, community development, and Islamic guidance, so they can live with dignity, opportunity, and hope.
What We Do
Grassroots delivery — directly to those who need it most
In more recent times, the community has been trying to re-build their lives in Sri Lanka and re-settle into the area from which they were displaced — with considerable help from JMA.
When we involve and deliver projects, we always directly interact with the beneficiaries at a grassroots level. This way we know your donations and contributions are 100% utilised and delivered to the poor and needy.
As an organisation we also represent the voices of the Jaffna Muslim community on international arenas — ensuring their human rights and social welfare are heard on a global scale.
Our Project Areas
What We Stand For
Our values guide every decision
Full Transparency
Every pound is accounted for. We publish annual reports, project outcomes, and financial breakdowns openly and without exception.
Dignity First
We serve with humility. Every family we support is treated with the same dignity we would want for our own.
Diaspora-Powered
JMA is built on the generosity of the UK Jaffna Muslim community — a bridge between two nations.
Volunteer-Run
All operating costs are covered by our committee. 100% of public donations go directly to beneficiaries on the ground.
Long-Term Thinking
We fund projects that create lasting change — education, infrastructure, and healthcare — not just emergency relief.
UK Registered
JMA is a fully registered UK charity (No. 1143032), subject to Charity Commission oversight, Gift Aid eligibility, and annual audits.
Our History
Over two decades of milestones
Founded in the UK
A group of Jaffna Muslims resettled in Britain came together with one shared purpose — to give back to the community they had left behind. JMA was formally established.
Registered as a UK Charity
JMA became a registered non-profit charity organisation (No. 1143032) to further its goals, formally assigned by the Charity Commission for England and Wales.
Healthcare programme begins
A partnership with local clinics in Jaffna allowed JMA to begin funding medical treatment for elderly and vulnerable residents who could not afford care.
£1 million milestone
JMA crossed £1,000,000 in total funds raised — a landmark reflecting the growing confidence of the UK diaspora in the organisation's transparency and delivery.
Digital transformation
JMA launched its new digital platform, enabling online donations, Gift Aid processing, and real-time campaign tracking.
Silver Jubilee — 25 years
JMA marks 25 years of service with the launch of the Silver Jubilee programme, deepening its commitment to the Jaffna Muslim community across two nations.
The Committee
The people behind JMA
Every committee member is a volunteer. Not a single penny of your donation pays for salaries or overheads.
