Who we are
A foundation built around people and possibility.
The Foundation carries the name of Mary F. Dahn. It works with Grade 12 students and recent graduates in Bong Mines, Bong County, and in Monrovia — mentorship, practical digital skills, and the kind of support that makes a plan possible.
In October 2026, with FUNSAL, we brought senior students from high schools across Monrovia to United Nations House for a full day of mentorship. In July, with ABML, the same work ran in a school courtyard in Bong Mines. Both cohorts left with certificates, and with someone to call.
