We all can make this world a happier place

The MOYO story

Elena - Founder of MOYO

In one of our conversations, my brother asked me: “What would you do if you were a billionaire and you never had to work again?” I am a teacher and without a second thought I said: “I’d build a kindergarten on the beach in Africa and everyone would be happy there!”. He replied: “So, do it!” 🙂

The MOYO story began in a small village in Zanzibar — during my first trip to Africa. I watched an Italian lady giving out crayons and colouring books to local children. I have never, ever seen more joy in my life than the happiness of one small boy who received this treasure from her! That joy just touched my heart… But also, it made me think: What can I do to see more of such happiness?

This sentence — uttered in 2015 — is becoming a reality right now. MOYO is well on its way to building its first kindergarten in Africa. We believe that every child can grow up in a loving, secure environment, with access to quality education and other resources for happy, healthy childhood — foundation of adult life.

The main goal of MOYO is to build kindergarten full of joy because what a child receives up to the age of 6 stays within him/her for a lifetime. And this holds true for children all around the world.

All of us can become a part of this endeavour. With your help, we can change children’s lives even in place where ordinary kindergarten is perhaps everything — except ordinary!
