Lighting the way to a safer, more resilient.

We're a Mongolian NGO helping people, institutions, and communities navigate a fast-changing world: online, environmentally, and in everyday life.

Who we are

Faro Foundation began in 2018 with a single focus: helping Mongolia thrive in the digital age. Since then, our work has grown to meet bigger challenges, protecting people online, caring for the environment, and strengthening communities when it matters most. We bring the same belief to all of it: people do better when they have the right knowledge, tools, and support.

Focus Areas

We organize our work around three connected focus areas, digital life, the environment, and human wellbeing, each delivered through our three pillars of capacity building, advocacy, and systemic modernization.

Digital life

Digital Empowerment. Helping people stay safe, informed, and confident online, through online safety, media and information literacy, and digital resilience.

Environment

Environmental Sustainability. Supporting Mongolia's green transition through climate action, ESG, and practical tools for a healthier planet.

Wellbeing

Human Resilience. Strengthening communities through public health awareness and emergency preparedness, so people are ready for whatever comes.

Across every focus area, we work in three ways:

  • We build capacity, training, curricula, and a growing network of local trainers.
  • We shape policy, research and advocacy that turn evidence into better decisions.
  • We modernize systems, practical digital tools that help institutions and people keep up.
