About Us
Our Story
As a new first-time educator, Nóra L. Ritók, the founder of the Real Pearl Foundation, had to face the fact that the knowledge she obtained at university would not be sufficient in a class where the majority of the children were disadvantaged, handicapped, or as the would society see: problematic.
A less motivated teacher would have raised her voice to gain the attention of the group of troublesome children who were generally rejected and neglected by their teachers, peers and school administrators. At that point in their education other teachers would have found it difficult to intervene or motivate students. However, Nóra began exploring her other passion: she sat down to draw. Since it was an obvious choice she started to draw the children. They were first examining the final works with surprise then they complimented the artwork and finally felt the motivation that they had been lacking.
The common work began…

The model of the Real Pearl Foundation to create opportunities
The Real Pearl Foundation developed a complex model for creating opportunities that help give a vision about the future, integrate the families who are on the margins of society living in slums. The nature of the solution is the creation of a plan based on mapping the overarching problems. Following the theory “Everything is connected to everything else”, we work with educational tools emphasizing every element of community development.
