We envision a world where every child has access to quality education and is empowered to serve their communities.

That’s why for over 25 years, Mona Foundation has worked alongside visionary grassroots leaders in 23 countries to break the cycle of poverty through education. 


With a singular focus on holistic, community-led development, Mona has helped over 5.6 million children—especially girls—access the resources, skills, and support they need to thrive.

This is transformation, led from the inside out.


Whether you’re an educator, a donor, or someone looking to make a lasting impact, you’re invited to explore a better way forward.


See a glimpse of our impact through the eyes of students at one of our grassroots education partners, Barli Institute, a Mona partner since 2004, in our 25th anniversary documentary film.
