In 2014, a humble yet monumental step was taken in the journey to empower the youth of Bangladesh. The Courtney Jordan Foundation (CJF), with its unwavering commitment to creating spaces for growth and opportunity, broke ground on its first school—an endeavor that would not only provide refuge but also lay the foundation for lifelong success. This school is more than just bricks and mortar; it’s a symbol of hope, resilience, and the belief that education is the key to breaking the cycles of poverty.
Built with love and a vision for a better tomorrow, this school represents the cornerstone of CJF Bangladesh, an initiative under the larger umbrella of CJF America. From the start, the goal was clear: to create a place where students from underserved communities could not only learn but thrive. Offering safe refuge, the school is a sanctuary where children can discover their potential, guided by caring educators and a curriculum designed to empower them to become leaders in their communities.
In its design and purpose, the school echoes the core values of CJF America, where we believe in providing equal access to education, fostering growth, and nurturing talent from all walks of life. The school is a reminder that when we invest in the youth, we are not just building buildings—we are building futures, one student at a time. We are grateful for the opportunity to contribute to Bangladesh’s growth story, and we remain committed to expanding this vision with every new opportunity to serve.
This school is just the beginning, and as we continue to build, we are not only constructing walls but also creating lasting impact through education, empowerment, and compassion.
