Lighting the way to a safer, more resilient Mongolia, the people, the story, and the partners behind our work.
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. We work across three connected focus areas, and in every one of them we build capacity, shape policy, and modernize the systems people rely on.
Helping people stay safe, informed, and confident online, through online safety, media and information literacy, and digital resilience.
Supporting Mongolia's green transition through climate action, ESG, and practical tools for a healthier planet.
Strengthening communities through public health awareness and emergency preparedness, so people are ready for whatever comes.
From a single focus on digital literacy to a foundation working across digital life, the environment, and human wellbeing.
Faro Foundation was founded to advance digital literacy and transformation in Mongolia.
We expand our digital work into online safety, child protection, and media literacy.
Our programs begin reaching neighboring countries across Central Asia.
We broaden our mission to include environmental sustainability and human resilience, alongside digital empowerment.
We continue to grow as a trusted partner for sustainable, people-centered change.
No matter which challenge we're working on, we rely on three proven methods:
We help people and organizations build the skills and confidence to thrive. We design specialized curricula, run hands-on training, and grow a network of local "seed trainers" who carry knowledge into their own communities. Our aim isn't one-off training, it's lifelong learning and independent thinking.
We turn evidence into better decisions. Grounded in research, surveys, and trend studies, we work with governments and the public to shape policies and campaigns that protect people and strengthen institutions, on issues from online safety and child protection to misinformation.
We build practical digital tools that help systems keep up with the world. From climate-data tools to public-health and learning platforms, we modernize the systems institutions and communities depend on, and make sure no one is left behind.
Our mission is to give people and organizations the knowledge, skills, and tools to navigate a complex world safely and confidently.
We take a holistic approach. Rather than running isolated campaigns, we build lasting programs that combine curriculum development, training, policy advocacy, public campaigns, and community events. By weaving these together, we create change that's measurable, and that lasts.
Everything we do is guided by a clear set of values:
We work better together, across sectors and borders.
Curiosity doesn't retire; neither do we.
Progress should reach everyone, especially the most vulnerable.
We hand people tools, not just answers.
Technology should serve people, safely and fairly.
We help people ask better questions.
Real change takes root at the community level.

Lasting change takes collective effort. To deliver real impact across digital, environmental, and human challenges, we partner with world-class institutions, from global agencies and governments to leading tech companies and grassroots groups. By building programs together, we make sure our work is scalable, locally relevant, and held to the highest standards.
We work with global institutions to keep our programs aligned with international standards.
We work directly with public-sector leaders to modernize national frameworks.
We partner with global tech leaders to scale digital literacy, online safety, and AI ethics.
We empower grassroots organizations so change takes root in communities.
