Moja Foundation

We believe that everybody should have access to basic health and sanitary items. That is why we work to create equal opportunities for all, paying special attention to gender. We do this though education for children, local production and local distribution of hygiene products such as underwear and sanitary items.

Our local partners and team members pay specific attention to local participation, gender and youth empowerment so we are able to create lasting impact in rural areas. Moja Foundation currently works through 4 main projects.

Hygiene Heroes

Good hygiene practices significantly decrease the risk of sexual dysfunction, disease, infections and social isolation. That is why it is important that children develop healthy routines at a young age. With this program we familiarise 5-9 year old children with health issues and teach them how to practice hygiene in daily life. That is how they become their own hygiene heroes. Moja Foundation also provides the children with sufficient underwear so they can go to school with a clean pair.

Fast Forward

Puberty is a time in which the body goes through changes. It is a natural process. But some changes can be experienced as a shock when a child is unprepared. That is why Moja Foundation has set up an educational program for children aged 10-12 years in which puberty is discussed.

With changes of the body come different health and hygiene needs. Aside from addressing these needs in conversation and providing children with sufficient underwear, this program also introduces reusable menstrual pads. By making sanitary items more accessible, girls who have their period have sanitary items available to help them stay in school.

Full Circle

In the Full Circle program, we pay special attention to health and hygiene needs that are gender specific. We promote interaction between genders to create mutual understanding about each other’s perspective.

This program is created for children aged 12-17 years and puts experience at the centre of education. During the course of this program we distribute underwear to all children and provide the girls with sufficient sanitary items to manage their periods. We also work with schools to make sure that working bathrooms and changing facilities are available.

Entrepreneurship

Moja Foundation believes that the only way to make a lasting impact is to work locally. That is why we partner with local people and organisations and produce products locally. We assist our production partners on a case-by-case basis in setting up their businesses. Through knowledge sharing and full support of our partners in their growth, we make sure they can thrive independently.
