Luminos Fund

The Luminos Fund provides transformative education programs to thousands of out-of-school children, helping them to catch up to grade level, reintegrate into local schools, and prepare for lifelong learning. Luminos was founded to ensure children everywhere get a chance to experience joyful learning, especially those denied an education by crisis, poverty, and discrimination. Their vision is of a world where no child is ever denied the chance to learn. Luminos currently operate classrooms in Ethiopia, Lebanon, and Liberia where students live in very challenging circumstances. Many are the first in their family to receive an education. Their Second Chance initiative, an accelerated learning program for out-of-school children, is one of the world’s leading innovations in K-12 education. In just ten months, they teach students to read and do math – to learn how to learn – through a joyful, activity-based curriculum.
