Living in an area with unpredictable rainfall, the ability to store water is essential for ensuring a reliable water supply throughout the year. At Eco Moyo, we have always collected rainwater from our classroom roofs, storing it in tanks ranging from 5,000 to 10,000 litres. This new project takes our water storage capacity to a completely different level: a 100,000-litre underground water tank. Being underground also protects the stored water from external elements and helps

About a year ago, we received our first chess boards. None of us imagined that a year later we would have students competing at the National Chess Championship in Nairobi. But before Nairobi came Kilifi. Earlier this year, four students represented Eco Moyo at their very first chess tournament. We honestly didn't know what to expect. The students had never competed before, and for us it was mostly about giving them the opportunity to try something new and see how they measure

This term we have successfully moved our swimming classes from the classroom to the water!! Swimming is a part of the curriculum, but schools rarely have access to pools or water. So its taught through books and videos: This is how you learn how to swim from books. Everyone knows thats not how you learn to swim!! So we threw a fundraiser this Christmas to try and introduce swiming to our grade 4-6 and we cant say anything other than; SUCCESS!!! We have gone to Tezo on Saturda

We marked International Day of Happiness at Eco Moyo again this year, and like last year, we kept it simple. We asked one question: what makes you happy? The answers are now up on our school board as this year’s “happiness tree”. It looks almost the same as last year, which in itself says something. Playing. Dancing. Eating. Learning. Riding a bicycle. Reading. Skipping rope. There is something very straightforward about it. No big statements, no complicated answers. Just the

We looooooove new uniforms!!! We take pride in our colorful uniforms at Eco Moyo. They add joy to our already colorful school — and they feel very us. Even better: the students choose the colors themselves. Each class comes together to decide what they want. There are discussions and there are strong (read: loud) opinions. We would say it’s about 90% democratic :D Having different colors for each class creates a real sense of belonging and identity for the class as a group.

The best but also bittersweet day of the year

When thinking of the month we spent as volunteers at Eco Moyo, so many emotions and memories come to mind. Thank you to the wonderful community of Eco Moyo for everything you have taught us. You welcomed us with open arms and let us into a community filled with so much love and friendship. We have enjoyed every second of it. It’s difficult to put into words the joy you feel when you're surrounded by the children of Eco Moyo. The laughter, the smiles and the warm hugs. You si

In rural Kenya women carry much of the daily work – raising children, farming, collecting water, cooking and caring for their families. Many never had the chance to go to school, and opportunities for paid work are still limited. Yet despite these challenges, the strength, creativity and determination of women shine through every day. At Eco Moyo we see this resilience constantly – from our dedicated staff who keep the school running to the mothers who make sure their childre
