The second term at Eco Moyo has been exciting! The Chess Club competed in a tournament where two learners (Under-9 girls category) emerged as the champion and first runner-up and the Handball and Volleyball girls were crowned as Regional Champions! The 4K Club promoted agriculture and environmental stewardship by weeding the school maize farm. Students were taught hand washing skills and food safety awareness on World Food Day. During Child Rights Week pupils used art to express what matters most: Food, Shelter, Education, Medication and Play. The Eco Moyo Education Centre provides free primary education to children from the Dzunguni village in rural Kenya. Your donation will positively impact the lives of the students. https://journeysofsolutions.org/portfolio/eco-moyo-education-center/

This is the story of Rani. A few days before Christmas 2025, she was 72 years old and had been widowed for five years. For years after becoming widowed, her daughter-in-law beat her and did not give her enough to eat, so Rani left her home and began living on the streets and begging for food. After three years of homelessness, she was so unhealthy and frail that she could no longer walk. After just three weeks in the loving care of Om Shanthi Old Age Home, she was walking again. Rani is now happy and grateful and participates in activities like painting mandalas, yoga, singing, and dancing. The Om Shanthi Project provides safe shelter in a 'forever home' for elderly widows who have been abandoned by their families. Your contribution will make a meaningful difference in the lives of the widows of Om Shanthi. https://journeysofsolutions

Today we celebrate: INTERNATIONAL YOUTH DAY which recognizes that while young people’s lives are shaped by different national and local realities, their aspirations are remarkably similar. Across the world, young people seek dignity, opportunity, meaningful participation, decent work, quality education, and a sustainable future.
Young people living in Least Developed Countries (LDCs), Landlocked Developing Countries (LLDCs), and Small Island Developing States (SIDS), often experience overlapping challenges linked to poverty, climate change, geographic isolation, limited economic opportunities, and unequal access to digital technologies. At the same time, these young people continue to demonstrate resilience, leadership, and innovation.
Today is a wonderful day to show your financial support to our projects that are dedicated to supporting youth. https://journeysofsolutions.org/donate/

WATER: The Source of Life. This is true for the Karo tribe of Ethiopia whose existence is under constant threat from low river levels. The Gibe dam along the Omo River generates hydroelectric power (that is sold to Kenya) but the dam negatively affects those living along the river, as the scarce water supply becomes even more sparse. Through the JOS project, a generator was purchased and installed, allowing the Karo to pump water up a cliff, irrigate their terraced grain and vegetable fields, and supply fresh water for drinking and bathing. As the water level continues to drop, new approaches need to be introduced to keep their water flowing. Annual funding of $3,000 is needed to ensure continued water availability to the tribe. Your donation will be used to ensure life-sustaining water remains available.

International Day of Friendship: July 30, 2026 is the perfect day to reflect on the many friendships JOS has forged. Our strong friendships worldwide bring hopes of a growing spirit of human solidarity. In a time when the noise of division grows louder — fueled by wars, conflicts, inequality, and fear — friendship feels almost radical in its simplicity. It doesn’t arrive with fanfare or policy; it doesn’t need speeches or signatures. It begins with something quieter: a conversation, a shared moment, a willingness to see one another not as strangers but as fellow travelers through the human experience.

Eco Moyo is a unique school in rural Kenya, offering free primary education to children from Dzunguni village. Lindsay from Norway (with Rochester connections) is the Eco Moyo founder and project leader. Journeys of Solutions has been their US partner since it's founding in 2013. The school now provides 300 students with a free education. Given the Norwegian connection, some students were inspired by the World CuP to do their version of the Norwegian row.
