Join us for the premiere of LIGHT AND AIR,

Mona's 25th Anniversary documentary, in a city near you. 

In 1999, Mona supported the education of 4 students in 2 countries.  Since then, we have provided 4,263,012 students with access to quality education and trained 168,643 teachers in 15,495 schools through 41 grassroots partners in 23 countries.

To celebrate this milestone, we will be premiering our 25th Anniversary documentary LIGHT AND AIR in different cities this Fall, free of charge. The documentary brings to life the impact of Mona's approach to development, the generosity of our donors, and the tireless efforts of our grassroots partners, through the lens of a few students whose lives and that of their families were transformed because of education, and who are now changing the hearts and minds of their communities on girls' education, equality, and service as a way of life.

Screenings will be followed by a panel discussion with distinguished guests.

Education is

"Light and Air"

To be without education and skills is being a bird without wings.  You can see the sky and the endless opportunities, but you are not able to reach them. It makes you feel helpless.

But education gives the power and the strength to transform our life and that of others. It makes us be confident and self-reliant.

It is like opening windows in a closed room and flooding it with light and fresh air.
