Friends, we are so excited to recognize the Ark Foundation in Calgary (Canada) for providing financial support for our “Pinkin Mama Tokabot (Child or Teenage Mother Awareness) Project”.

First deadline for grant applications was April 15th, and we received so many submissions! It is great to see so many organizations doing incredible work for our youth.

In 2015, The Wonder Project was created with the intention to help youth ,through fundraising for school infrastructure, and supporting education programming in developing countries. We have done that, but it has evolved into more. In 2019, we began to formalize our efforts, and look to attain sustainability. We are officially now known as The ARK Foundation. A Canadian registered charity with the mandate of furthering youth education and wellness locally and globally. So you'll see our name has changed, but our intentions and the people behind it have not. Thanks for your support!
