Why we started
Lorinet Foundation was founded in 2017 by Bolor Lorinet and Pierre Lorinet, from a simple belief: every child and young person deserves the opportunity to thrive and reach their full potential, regardless of the circumstances into which they are born.
For Bolor, who grew up in Mongolia during a period of deep economic and social change, that belief is personal. Education opened doors that might otherwise have stayed closed, shaping her conviction that the right support can change the course of a young life.
Their approach was shaped by a hard lesson — that good intentions don't always lead to good outcomes, and short-term help can sometimes deepen the very problems it sets out to solve. So instead of quick fixes, Pierre and Bolor chose to invest in root causes: backing strong organisations, building trusted partnerships, and supporting solutions that keep creating value long after the funding ends.
