Education changes everything. It opens doors, expands opportunity, and strengthens entire communities. Yet millions of children around the world are still denied access to the education they deserve.
This May, you can help change that. From May 9th through the end of the month, communities across North America and beyond are coming together to expand access to education—working collectively to help educate 270 children by raising $35,600, one step at a time.
How to participate? Move4Mona is flexible by design. Across our community, people have participated in many different ways:
- Walking with friends and family in neighborhoods
- Gathering at local parks and trails
- Organizing school fun runs and youth events
- Joining as a team through a workplace, club or community group
- Taking a solo walk as a personal act of purpose and solidarity
Some keep it simple. Some make it a bigger gathering. Every step counts!
Are you ready? Let's do this together!
Your $45 registration includes a Move4Mona T-shirt. Please allow up to 2 weeks for T-shirt delivery.
What your participation supports.
Every registration and donation helps expand access to education, support girls’ empowerment, and strengthen grassroots organizations working within their communities. Here are a few examples of the programs Mona Foundation supports.
AI learning and MindSpark (Ei Initiatives), South Africa
What does it look like when a student finally understands—and their whole face lights up? Teachers call it “the spark.” Through Mona Foundation’s partnership with Educational Initiatives, that moment is happening in classrooms across South Africa. With adaptive learning tools like MindSpark, students build confidence, master concepts at their own pace, and rediscover the joy of learning—creating lasting change for themselves and their communities.
Badi School, Panama
At Badí School in Panama, growth is about more than academics—it’s about becoming. Through daily practice of empathy, responsibility, perseverance, and service, students develop the character to navigate challenges and contribute to the world around them. Through Mona Foundation’s long-standing partnership with Badí, students gain not only the skills to succeed, but the values to lead with purpose in their communities.
Sunflower Mission, Vietnam
Through Mona Foundation’s partnership with Sunflower Mission, children who once lacked access to education are gaining opportunity and hope. Since 2007, this work has helped build schools, provide scholarships, and support communities in creating their own pathways to learning. With access to safe classrooms and supportive teachers, students are not only staying in school—they’re moving forward, pursuing higher education, careers, and giving back. This is the power of community-rooted education—and the future we build together.
Why Move4Mona?
Change doesn’t begin all at once. It begins with a step. Move4Mona is rooted in a simple idea: when people come together with intention, even small actions can create lasting impact. A walk, a conversation, an invitation—these moments add up.
Each step you take is part of something larger. It connects to students gaining access to education, to young women building skills and independence, and to communities strengthening from within.
This is how change happens—not through a single moment, but through steady, collective effort over time.
And this May, you’re part of it.
