Who We Are?

CG Fund, established in October 2022 under registration number 3831570, is committed to empowering marginalized communities in Lebanon through digital transformation in education. By integrating technology into education, we focus on increasing digital and computer literacy and equipping individuals with skills for the modern job market. Our work focuses on establishing computer labs in public and private schools, vocational institutions, and the Lebanese University as well as centers operated by local organizations. To enhance digital learning, in 2024 we collaborated with Code Brave and local partners to equip public school teachers with modern teaching skills to apply STEM principles to learning. In 2025, we are preparing to train 50 additional teachers in collaboration with the Center for Educational Research and Development (CERD). Solar energy solutions are also provided where necessary to ensure power for the computers and the school’s administration. By fostering partnerships and focusing on digital literacy and the creation of computer labs, we aim to accelerate digital transformation throughout Lebanon.

Vision

To support the education sector in Lebanon by equipping youth and women with essential digital skills that are crucial for future job opportunities, fostering their economic independence.

Mission

To empower the next generation by financing education and equipping institutions with computers.

We believe in creating equitable access to digital resources, fostering an innovative learning environment, and preparing students for the challenges of a rapidly evolving digital landscape.

We support clean and affordable energy projects to enable implementation of these initiatives.

Coming from California to spend a year abroad in 1972, Monica met Maher at the American University of Beirut. Retired from teaching since 2003, she has been volunteering for the various organizations she belongs to, including FAWCO. She spent six years on the FAWCO Board of Directors as President, and Vice President Communications & Committees. This invaluable experience has come in handy as she and Maher have spent 2021 setting up CG Fund.

Monica is a strong believer in women’s empowerment and advocates for gender equality in all aspects of life.

In 1990, Maher and his two brothers established Jubaili Bros., an international company offering power solutions in ten countries. Beginning his retirement in July 2021, Maher is now able to spend full time working on a project that is dear to his heart, CG Fund. Hailing from Saida, Lebanon, he has always supported charitable projects in his native country as well as created Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) projects at Jubaili Bros.

Maher believes strongly in the power of digital transformation and the importance of quality education, and he is committed to advancing these causes through CG Fund.
