We want to dedicate this page to show our appreciation for the various sponsors and partners we’ve had over the years.
Much love to you Nelson, there are not enough words to describe how much we appreciate you.
The biggest hug of them all has to go to Martin, Fredrik & all friends & artists of Eco Moyo Auction for donating all the amazing pictures that have been actioned off over the years! We love you all!
Much love to all the students and teachers from up north, both engineers and architects at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology for coming down and exploring solutions for our school.
A lot of love and gratitude to all the people that were involved in developing our strategic plan and the limitless support over the years from Arkitekter Uten Grenser.
A huge THANK YOU to eQuality. You know, we know who you are, and we are beyond grateful to have crossed paths with all of you.
Marit, thank you for establishing the Leap Learning Lab - a room dedicated to new educational method through technology. It’s much loved by the students!
Many Thanks to all the children from “Barnas Fredspris” for your consistent donations and support over the years, it truly helps keep the school running and growing from year to year.
A big shoutout to all the students and teachers from The Oslo School of Design and Architecture that worked long and hard days to establish some of the first school buildings.
West Consulting, with much gratitude we thank you for taking social responsibility seriously and caring about our students by sponsoring our Special Educational Needs Coordinator.
To all the awesome people at Moving the Goalposts. Thank you for organizing the numerous workshops and spreading your knowledge to all of our students!
To all the great Engineers and students from Ingeniører Uten Grenser. Thank you for taking us seriously and exploring our challenges and providing concrete solutions to our school.
Big thanks to Kavli Fondet for having believed in us, and consistently contributed for this many years.
120 Hours, it was truly fun to spread the word to all the students across the world, and your competition contributed tremendously to the development and establishing of the Sports Area.
Thank you to all the students and teachers from Skap Folkehøgskole for all the memories and time that was spent with our students.
Design of Multi-purpose building at Eco Moyo, Master with Meaning
A Master’s thesis from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) by Marie Eggen Norløff and Veronika Nyhus. The thesis is about the design of a multi-purpose hall at Eco Moyo Education Centre in Kenya. The hall is intended to accommodate sports activities, community events and student assemblies throughout the rainy seasons. The design proposal focuses on utilizing local construction methods and locally available building materials. The proposed design is a 14 x 22.8 meter footprint and consists of hollow cross-section members made of S235 steel. The roof has corrugated steel sheets and facilitates rainwater harvesting and installation of solar panels. The materials of the design result in a cost estimate of 117 000 NOK. Functional and aesthetic design solutions are implemented in the design proposal, and recommendations for a more effective, feasible and durable design follow. It is especially important to identify and prevent deterioration of the materials to ensure a long service life.
Technical and economical analysis of a rural microgrid, Master with Meaning
The analysis was done by NTNU students Anja Myhre Waitz and Kari Thorset Lervik in collaboration with IUG and Eco Moyo Education Centre. The purpose of the analysis was to propose a system design for a microgrid that delivers electricity to the school from renewable energy sources. Off-grid solutions with PV panels and batteries were the main focus. The analysis concluded that both clustered and non-clustered solutions provide high performance and acceptable investment costs. However, a clustered solution allows for gradual expansion and is therefore considered the optimal solution for power supply at Eco Moyo Education Centre.
Design of underwater waterstorage tank, Master with Meaning
Iver Nybø and Lukas Okkenhaug Hartnik, two students from NTNU studying building and environmental engineering with a focus on geotechnics and construction technology, delivered a Master with Meaning in spring 2022. They worked in collaboration with IUG and Eco Moyo Education Centre and conducted their fieldwork at Eco Moyo in Kenya. Their project aimed to improve water supply during longer drought periods by designing an underground water storage tank based on geotechnical, construction technical, and durability aspects. The design proposal was developed using local building materials and techniques. The results are based on a field study conducted during a trip to Kilifi in February-March 2022 and supported by an extensive literature study. A design proposal for a cylindrical underground water tank with a capacity of 100 m3 was established.
