XpressJobs Partners with Run for Hope Colombo 2026 to Support Livelihoods for Single Mothers
Colombo, Sri Lanka – August 2026: XpressJobs, Sri Lanka’s leading recruitment technology platform, proudly partnered as the Official Recruitment Partner for Run for Hope Colombo 2026, powered by Nestomalt, reaffirming its commitment to creating opportunities beyond employment and supporting initiatives that uplift communities.
Held at Viharamahadevi Park, Colombo, the event brought together over 1,200 participants from all walks of life, including families, young children, fitness enthusiasts, corporate teams and seasoned runners. Organised by the Voice Foundation, Run for Hope Colombo was a fundraising initiative dedicated to supporting the livelihoods of single mothers, helping them build sustainable incomes and create brighter futures for their families.
For XpressJobs, supporting the event was a natural extension of its purpose. While the company is best known for connecting people with career opportunities, it also believes in creating pathways that empower individuals and strengthen communities.
As part of its partnership, XpressJobs sponsored the prizes for the 2KM Run and provided race entry tickets for 15 children from Mahiyanganaya, ensuring they too could take part in the inspiring event. The company was represented at the prize-giving ceremony by Joe Peter, Head of Sales, and Ilakyia, Manager – HR & Operations, who joined organisers in celebrating the achievements of participants across all race categories.
Commenting on the partnership, Oshadie Korale, Co-Founder and COO of XpressJobs, said:
“At XpressJobs, we believe employment has the power to transform lives. Every day, we see how a job can provide financial independence, dignity and hope, not only for an individual but for an entire family. As a women-led business, supporting women has always been close to our hearts. We also believe in encouraging entrepreneurship and creating opportunities that help women build sustainable livelihoods.
The event was a powerful reminder of what can be achieved when businesses, community organisations and individuals unite behind a shared purpose. Participants of all ages came together not only to complete a race but also to contribute towards improving the lives of single mothers across Sri Lanka.
XpressJobs also extends its sincere appreciation to Moses Akash (Founder of Voice Foundation) and the entire Voice Foundation team for organising an inspiring event that successfully combined community engagement with a meaningful social cause.
The company further acknowledged the collective contribution of its fellow partners, including Nestomalt as the Title Sponsor, Nawaloka Colombo as the Medical Partner, Emerging Media as the Digital Media Partner, PickMe Events as the Ticketing Partner, MEGA as the Pain Relief Partner, CAREHUB Physios as the Post-Recovery Partner, Vito Pizza as the F&B Partner, Fitness ID as the Fitness Partner, Firefly Studio as the Photography Partner, Fiddle Leaf by Jay Thisra as the Graphic Design Partner, SCOT Campus as the Education Partner, ZONTA Club of Colombo 3 as the Women’s Empowerment Partner, and the Leo Club of CINEC Campus as the Community Partner. Together, these organisations demonstrated the impact that meaningful partnerships can have when supporting a common cause.
XpressJobs also extends its gratitude to every participant, volunteer, running club, fitness community, corporate team and sponsor whose enthusiasm and generosity made Run for Hope Colombo 2026 such a memorable success.
