2014 FINANCIAL REPORT
30
On behalf of our board, it is with pleasure that I share with
you the record of our achievements for the 2014 fiscal year.
None of these would have been possible without your
generous support. Thank you from the bottom of our
hearts!
Last year was a watershed year for Mona Foundation. We
celebrated our 15th Year Anniversary and marked the year
by committing to grow the Foundation’s capacity to adopt
more projects and serve more children. Here’s why:
Maina is nine years old and lives
in a slum. Her father left her when
she was very young. Maina, along
with her mother, works as a domestic helper and earns about $17
a month. She works for an hour in
the morning and takes care of her
siblings when her mother goes
out to work. She attended primary
school for three months but had to
drop out to care for her siblings.
She lives in a rented 10x10 makeshift hut and her family pays $1
per month for using a water tap
and does not have access to a real
toilet. And yet, because of people
like you, she is currently a student at an educational center in Lucknow, India, and never
misses a class!
Every child matters. And every child deserves an opportunity to be the best they can be. Mona Foundation is committed to keep Maina and thousands of others like her in
school every year. We ask you to stay with us on this journey, help us break the cycle of poverty and support families
as they build a better life for themselves and their communities.
With our deepest gratitude,
Mahnaz

ADCAM
Association for the Cohesive Development of the Amazon
manaus, brazil
In Brazil, where the minimum wage is an
average of $250 USD a month, the education and support provided by ADCAM
is critical to strengthening the skills and
abilities of at-risk adolescents.
The Youth Apprentice Program is one of
the main programs offered at ADCAM.
It provides courses in areas such as work
safety, computing, elder care, hotel services, customer service, accounting and
more.
Willmer is one of the many youth affected
by this program, he says;
“ADCAM has been of the utmost importance in my life, not only on the professional side, but also on the personal side
because it has taught me values I never
knew. Through ADCAM I learned ethics, citizenship and moral values without
which a society cannot function. My way
of thinking changed and I understood
that to enter the world of work is not
easy; I must apply myself to my studies
to prepare for it.”
Your Impact in 2014
$36,180 supported 60
students at the Center for
Family Development that
serves children ages 11 15 who are in vulnerable
situations.
$61,800 funded 26 scholarships for Tahirih University
and 51 scholarships for the
Masrour School K - 12
“Where would the majority of the youth
in this area be without ADCAM? It would
be so difficult for them to enter the job
market. This project helped me so much
because I learned things in this course
that I never imagined I would learn in
my whole life. I know I will carry what
I’ve learned with me forever. This course
made me a better person and I have made
true friends that have helped me in so
many ways to overcome the difficulties
of my life.”
$30,000 supported 40
students at the Masrour
Institute of Technology and
Vocational School
$22,020 supported 230

DANIELA, YOUTH APPRENTICE PROGRAM
The Association for the Cohesive Development of the Amazon (ADCAM) began in 1985
as a small orphanage in one of the poorest
neighborhoods of Manaus, Brazil. Since
then, ADCAM has developed organically to
meet the needs of the urban and rural poor.
Today, it’s a nationally-recognized educational institution, serving over 4,000 students from pre-school through college and
beyond. To learn more about ADCAM visit:

Anis Zunuzi School
Port-au-prince, haiti
The educators at Zunuzi see education as
the principal way to change their country
by lifting up Haiti through transformation that begins in the community. The
school has an emphasis on character and
moral development throughout the curriculum in the hopes that these teachings
will carry over into the community and
those students can serve as pillars in their
own community.

ZUNUZI SCHOOL STUDENTS
Zunuzi strives to provide a holistic learning environment for their students. They
are always evaluating and assessing not
only their curriculum, but the daily challenges that their students face. In 2014,
they received $900 to provide books for
students. The school had determined that
one of the challenges causing low grades
for their secondary students was a lack of
text books. Although the students know
what books they need to purchase, the
parents often fail to acquire them.
2015 project needs
$38,400 is committed to Zunuzi in 2015

The Anis Zunuzi Baha’i School was established
in 1982 in the outskirts of Port-au-Prince to
provide access to education for the poorest of
Haiti’s children. It has also become a haven for
neighborhood youth who use the soccer and
basketball facilities, and also for the larger
community which uses the school as a gathering place.

Anis Zunuzi Annex School for Street Children
Port-au-prince, haiti
There
were 11 boys in the Annex in
2014. They all come from very challenging backgrounds and were previously
living on the streets of Haiti. The Annex
recently found out that one of the boys
who was originally part of the group,
but left two years ago, was killed in what
appeared to be gang related violence.
Another boy that had hung around the
Annex and was friends with the boys was
killed while trying to rob a bank. These
deaths have impressed upon everyone,
the boys, teachers and administrators, the
danger these boys face as they struggle to
survive and deal with the negative forces
in their environment.

BADI FOUNDATION
MACAU, CHINA
The aspirations of a high school English
teacher in Jincheng City, Shanxi Province,
China, and the goals of Badi Foundation
combined to form a powerful collaborative success story in 2014.
Du Sufen had been teaching for 16 years
but always felt that students aged 12 to
15 needed more guidance and help with
character building than the school environment alone could provide. Then she
was introduced to the Badi Foundation
through a friend.
Your Impact in 2014
$23,716 funded financial

participants
$48,874 funded multiple

19 CBO’s carrying out
the Moral Empowerment
through Language (METL)
program
At the same time the accompanying language curriculum Du Sufen provided
helped improve their English. Teachers
and administrators were pleased with the
outcomes of this pilot project and now
Du Sufen works with seven classes from
the school.
Yu Gao, a student in one of the classes,
says about the program, “After attending
this course, I have a more comprehensive
understanding of myself and society. It
seemed that I had been walking in a mist
for a long time and finally saw a glimpse
of light…. I benefitted a lot and became
more mature. When someone needs help,
I no longer stand by, but offer to help.”
$16,400 funded observation and evaluation of the
METL program by experts
METL CLASS
After receiving training in how to create a community-based organization
(CBO), Du Sufen returned to her hometown and established the Xinyuan Junior
Youth Moral Empowerment and English
Learning Center. The Badi Foundation,
through communications, seminars and
site visits, provides program directors
like Du Sufen with quality curriculum,
materials and advice.
For her pilot project, Du Sufen connected
with a teacher from the local middle
school. Skeptical at first, the school principal still allowed her to try the program
with two seventh-grade classes. Soon
students were creating and participating
in service activities such as helping senior
citizens at the elder care centers and
METL CLASS
cleaning up the school neighborhood.

Du Sufen describes what has been made
possible through her dream and the Badi
Foundation: “After more than a year of
work, I discovered that I not only released my own potential capacities, but,
with great excitement, I also witnessed
changes in my colleagues and youth participants. As an educator, I finally figured
out a way of promoting the balanced development of intellect and morality in adolescents - to help them to learn the ideas,
principles and methods in the program.”

The Badi Foundation has worked since 1990
to bring about balanced development through
the design and implementation of the following education and training programs:
The Institutional Capacity Building Program;
Environmental Action Program and a Moral

BADI SCHOOL
San Miguelito, PANAMA
At the Badi School, the demand to attend
the school is very high, but to maintain
the quality of education the school keeps
a low student to teacher ratio.
Badi School is recognized for academic
excellence, and their students, who are
mostly from the indigenous population,
have year over year arisen to meet this
high standard. For the seventh consecutive year, students at Badi School have
achieved the highest grades in the country on the college admission exam (from
among approx. 7,000 students). This
exam is the same one that the Harvard
College Board uses. 34 students graduated from Badi School this year and will
go on to university.

BARLI INSTITUTE
INDORE, INDIA
In May 2014, trainees from 44 villages
of various districts of Madhya Pradesh

Digital Study Hall (DSH)
INDIA
2014 brought an exciting new opportunity for Mona Foundation to support
Digital Study Hall through scholarships.
For 90 girls graduating from a KGBV
school and Digital Study Hall Girls’ Empowerment Program, their dream of continuing their education into secondary
school became reality when they were
selected as Mona Foundation scholarship
recipients.
One of these girls, Kaushiki, age 13,
placed first in her 6th, 7th and 8th classes
at the KGBV Malihabad, despite her
highly dysfunctional home situation. She
lives in what is considered the slums, and
Kaushiki and her mother have suffered
long-term physical and emotional abuse
from Kaushiki’s alcoholic father.

Georges Marcellus School
Geurot, haiti
The
Georges Marcellus School is in the
remote area of Guerot, about four hours
from Port-au-Prince. The route to the
school is over very rough dirt roads,
where you might encounter a few emaciated cattle, children bathing in the roadside stream, and road blocks.
Road blocks are not uncommon these
days; Haitians set up these road blocks
for many reasons, one of them being to
protest the education system. Although
Haiti has recently implemented a program that subsidizes schools, (including
Georges Marcellus) to offer free primary
education, many of the schools have yet
to see any of the funds and teachers are
not being paid.
Your Impact in 2014
Served 203 students grades K-6
$5,595 funded teachers for
grades K-6
$600 funded the reconstruction
of the bathrooms damaged by
a fallen tree
$1,000 funded school lunches

3rd grade classroom. The directors of the
school have a vision that the education
they are providing will not stay within
the school grounds, but will pour out into
the community and transform Guerot,
economically and socially.
Georges Marcellus currently offers up
to 6th grade and the majority of the students who complete the 6th grade have
nowhere else to go, so their education
ends. There’s a great need to add more
grade levels and Georges Marcellus
hopes to add classrooms soon, so that
one day they can provide kindergarten
through grade 13 and send their students
on to university.

Students who participated in 2014 felt
especially empowered when a year-long
plan to reach out across boundaries bore
fruit. Last winter, during a particularly
virulent flu epidemic, they had shadowed
scientists at Phemomenex and launched a
hand-washing campaign. They made pillow-case flags for their sister schools in
Liberia, to emphasize the role of young
change agents in encouraging preventive
health practices.
Soon the Ebola virus caught hold of Liberian families, especially in the capital city
of Liberia, where Full-Circle Learning
mentors 31 schools. These schools had
already been thinking about the tools for
prevention, with the help of the Tarzana
students, and not one student or teacher
from these 31 schools contracted Ebola.
The students shadowed the scientists because they were studying the principle of
Universal Connectedness. They learned
how skilled professionals turned Universal Connectedness into a lifelong passion

and honored them for working to cure
global disease. Parents and students alike
redefined the term humanitarian that day
to include those whose success is unseen
by the public, rather than honoring only
celebrities in the media or those on the
pages of history books.
Parents are very appreciative of the program and its impact on the children.
One parent wrote: “I am very proud for
my kids to be part of this program. The
dedication, kindness and cooperation of
the teachers is awesome. They treat the
students with integrity, love, respect and
kindness.”
Full-Circle Learning’s Habits-of-Heart Club at
Tarzana Elementary School in California is an
after-school program that serves up to 45 students (68% girls) five days per week September through June. The school serves as a beacon to immigrant families, who find housing in

Lide, she was 16 years old and in the
7th grade. She lived with her sister and
looked after her 12 year old cousin who
was also in the program. Two months after entering the program, we learned that
Mary was already three months pregnant. As soon as the pregnancy showed,
the school expelled her.
Mary loves to write and do photography, but most of all she loves to perform.
She thrived in the theatre aspect of the
progam. When school refused her entry,
we offered to train her to be an assistant for the program. She gave birth to a
healthy baby boy in September, and then
in October returned to the program where
she went on to adapt a short children’t fiction into a script that she directed and the
younger participants performed.
Cherloune
Cherloune is 12 years old. When she arrived at Lide she could not recognize
letters of the alphabet or the sounds they
represented. She was not in school at that
time, but had attended a school in the
past and had been passed through 3rd
grade - without the ability to read and
write. When she began the program, this

Partnered with FONKOZE,
a Haitian NGO, to adapt

program and by the end
of the year all participants

early 1st grade level
barely 4-foot tall child was expected to do
all the cleaning in the house and go to
the community water pump, fill 5 gallon
buckets with water and carry them back
to the house.
Despite all this, Cherloune has the voice
of a poet. From the first day in the program, she could say a poem aloud without needing to put words on a page.
When we added the focused literacy
component to Lide with local partner
FONKOZE, Cherloune’s ability to read
and write took leaps. In October, she had
gained enough proficiency that she was
able to enroll in a credible primary school
on a scholarship from Lide.
2015 project needs
Lide has become an independent 501(c)(3) organization.

on their progress.
PARTICIPANTS IN THE LIDE PROGRAM
In Haitian Creole, “lide “means leader/idea.
The program was established in 2012 to promote literacy through writing, drama, photography/film, and art. These disciplines are
a gateway to an academic education as well
as an enrichment of what’s provided in a traditional classroom. Lide activities center on
the artistic study of values-based themes that
help adolescent girls explore the life questions
that all youth face. Learn more at

MONGOLIAN DEVELOPMENT CENTER
Ulaanbaatar, MONGOLIA
The
people benefitting from programs
at the Mongolian Development Centre in
Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, speak about the
importance of this program in their lives
and in the community.
From a teacher in the Early Childhood
Develpment Program:
“I see many cases of children and parents
who get involved with the program and
are really different from those who don’t.
Parents who participated in the program
are very calm, patiently explaining things
to their children if there are challenges,
while other parents who didn’t participate in the training are very nervous with
their children.”
Your Impact in 2014
2014 the youth cleaned the grounds of a
school and educated their families about
the correct disposal of waste water.

STUDENTS FROM NEW HORIZON
STUDENTS FROM NEW HORIZON
At New Horizon, the majority of the students are girls. One of the school’s fundamental principles is that girls’ education
is critical to the development of a country. In addition to enhancing the role of
women and girls in society through various school activities, they make an extra
effort to have female teachers. They do
this to emphasize gender equality and to
serve as an example for the students.
New Horizon School is the result of a community process that began when 80 villagers
sought the support of the director of the French
Hospital to start a preschool for their children.
In 2003, New Horizon Foundation was formed
and set its sights on establishing an educational complex to help train a new generation
to participate in Haiti’s development. New
Horizon School opened in 2007 and year by
year adds infrastructure to support activities
in education, sports, culture, health, environmental action and all initiatives conducive to
the social and economic development of Haiti.

credits the program for helping him stay
out of trouble and doing better in school.
Ivan likes music and wants to be a musician.
LUIS
Luis, age 13, started the program as a

is the oldest child in his family, and his
sister and brother are also in the program.
At the beginning of the week devoted to

were invited to put the trash into the
trash cans as a symbol of clearing their
hearts of anger. They were encouraged
to write a letter to a person they want to

letter.
Ivan says that he has become more able to
forgive people, when it was not easy for
him before. Luis shared that he has been
able to practice forgiveness more readily
after the summer’s session and no longer
gets mad at his parents when they say he
cannot go to the skateboard park.

“Each Sunflower Mission work camp
provides its own pleasantly familiar yet
distinctly new experience; each year a
brand new wave of smiling faces, each
year the same heartfelt welcome into
their lives. Although each beaming face
was uniquely interesting, as always,
there were a couple that stuck out from
the rest. My favorites were Kiet, a curious, thoughtful young man, and Ngoc,

teaching kids programming
worldwide
In 2014 Teaching Kids Programming
(TKP) reached more than 1,000 youth.
Many of the students came from the U.S.
West Coast, but their reach also extended
to the U.S. Midwest, the U.K., Sweden
and Finland.
BOYS & GIRLS CLUB PARTICIPANTS
TKP sponsored a programming camp
called BarBCode at the Boys and Girls
club in San Diego, which sold out with
a waiting list (70% of participants were
girls). Angelina, a participant in the camp,
was so inspired by her experience that
she began emailing TKP program directors and asking for additional work and
help. As a result, Angelina and some of
her friends launched a Teen User Group
that studies TKP software and tests the
new data courseware.
Emails from parents to TKP noted that
they have all been happily shocked by
what the girls now know about computer
programming, and all members of the
group plan to sign up for AP Computer
Science in high school, something they
hadn’t even considered before.

SmallBasic and began teaching it when
she was 16. She is now 21 and is graduating from McGill University in spring
2015. Genevieve continues to learn and
teach TKP courseware, including TKPJava, and credits it in part with her success and decision to become a computer
science major. At McGill, she mentors
other girls via the Microsoft Student Partner program and now aspires to become
a Microsoft professional software developer after graduation.
Teaching Kids Programming (TKP) began in 2009
in the United States and now serves children all
over the world. They work to encourage kids, especially young girls, to become more engaged in
technology by teaching them basic programming
skills. The teaching methods follow the philosophy
that kids learn best through self-discovery and
collaboration. The courseware is developed by the
two founders and offered to students and teachers
free-of-charge. Learn more about TKP at:

CELEBRATING 15 YEARS OF SUPPORTING UNIVERSAL EDUCATION AND GIRLS AND WOMEN
We were thrilled and humbled to celebrate our 15 year anniversary in 2014!
Mona Foundation has grown exponentially from serving three projects with
450 children in 1999 to 34 educational initiatives in 16 countries reaching hundreds of thousands of children, women and their families over the past 15 years.
Our efforts are directed to one primary objective: We believe that the most
leveraged way to alleviate global poverty is through universal education and
gender equality. Thank you for joining us on this journey. Learn more about our
goals and vision at www.monafoundation.org.
