None of these would have been possible without your generous suppt. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts! Last year was a watershed year f Mona Foundation. We celebrated our 15th Year Anniversary and marked the year by committing to grow the Foundation s capacity to adopt me projects and serve me 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, wks as a domestic helper and earns about $17 a month. She wks f an hour in the mning and takes care of her siblings when her mother goes out to wk. She attended primary school f three months but had to drop out to care f her siblings. She lives in a rented 10x10 makeshift hut and her family pays $1 per month f 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 opptunity 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 suppt families as they build a better life f themselves and their communities.
