The Mona Way

Our trailblazing approach is effective, efficient, and transformative.


To address the root causes of poverty, Mona Foundation partners with grassroots organizations that educate children, empower women and girls, and foster ethics and service to develop change agents who uplift themselves, their families, and their communities.



Our approach is rooted in our core belief in the oneness of humanity and our conviction that every person, irrespective of geography and economic standing, has the right to self-determination and the responsibility to fully participate in development of their communities. Learn more.

Since 1999, we have partnered with 41 grassroots organizations

in dozens of countries across four continents.

 25 Years of Growth and Impact

Mona started out supporting four students through two organizations in two countries. Since then, we have provided access to education for over 4.2 Million students through 41 grassroots partners in 23 countries.

Our next goal is to reach 10 Million students by 2030.

Our increasing impact is a tribute to the ceaseless labors of our grassroots partners, to Mona's trailblazing approach to development, and to the generous network of changemakers who support our mission and work. Our growth is accelerating as our grassroots partners build capacity to undertake more complex initiatives, expand their collaboration with civil society and governments, and scale their proven programs through existing institutions.

Mona's work is breaking the cycle of poverty and driving progress on gender equality.
