This leaves millions of women used to wearing glasses that are too tight, too narrow, slide down face, hit cheeks, or touch lashes. That's where Mohala comes in. . .
We are an inclusive eyewear brand that offers three unique nose bridge fits to create custom frames that include everyone.

Founder's Note
Hi, I'm Ashley and I'm passionate about leveling the eyewear playing field
Women shared with me they couldn’t wear the standard sunglasses available in the current marketplace.
Frames slid down their nose, were too tight, gave them headaches and rested on their cheeks.
Being an Asian, mixed-race female founder, I know the feeling of using products not designed for me.
Women deserved better in eyewear. They deserved frames designed to fit and made for each unique, valued woman.
I also wanted each pair to have a special power. And so every pair sold sends a girl to school at Room to Read.
I love seeing women living their best lives.
If Mohala sunglasses can make you feel comfortable and confident on the outside, and amazing on the inside for empowering girls, then our goal is accomplished.
To our dreams,
Educating girls can change the world.
Every purchase sends girls to school.
Mohala’s Mission

LIFE SKILLS EDUCATION
Classes and extracurricular activities are taught to develop girls’ confidence, communication and self-advocacy skills to forge their own independent path instead of one forced upon them.
LOCAL MENTORS
Local mentors are educated role models, advisors and advocates for girls in the program. They speak with parents, visit the girls in their homes, and support girls emotionally to help them stay in school.
MATERIAL SUPPORT
Material support can be the cost of a uniform, safe transportation, tuition fees, or exam preparation services.
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
Community meetings with local leaders and parents create a culture of gender equality and value in educating girls.
When a girl is educated . . .
she is more likely to create a smaller and healthier family, earn a higher wage, educate her own children, avoid childhood marriage and sex trafficking, and poverty goes down, economies grow stronger and the world gets better.
