About The Luminos Fund

Our vision is of a world where no child is ever denied the chance to learn. In sub-Saharan Africa, 9 in 10 children do not learn to read by age 10. Children who are out of primary school are uniquely challenged to develop vital foundational skills and keep up with educated peers over time.Our mission is to ensure all children have equal access to joyful, foundational learning, especially those shut out of education by crisis, poverty, or discrimination. To date, Luminos has enabled 481,149 vulnerable and out-of-school children to get a second chance to learn. Luminos currently operates classrooms in parts of sub-Saharan Africa and the Middle East where students live in very challenging circumstances.
