Franklin was a young Moja Tu student who with his positive energy and smile inspired us all. Sadly his life ended prematurely after he lost his battle with cancer. Franklin had an amazingly bright light that deeply touched those around him.
We are eternally grateful to Franklin for sharing his light with us and now ask you to join us in ensuring that his light never fades. Moja Tu has created a fund in Franklin’s honor that will be dedicated to being the rainbow in other children’s lives. Franklin’s Rainbow Fund will help manage and support Moja Tu students achieve their dreams of getting an education by providing funds for ancillary expenses including medical, vision, hearing, counseling, school material, clothes, etc. Read Franklin's story of inspiration and hope.

Whosoever saves a single life saves the entire world." This quote from both the Talmud and the Quran sums up the philosophy of Moja Tu. I am privileged to participate in saving the life of a child, and perhaps his or her entire family, by funding that child’s education. On a micro level, Moja Tu provides meaning and purpose to my life, and hope and opportunity to a child’s life. On a macro level, Moja Tu helps create a cadre of educated Kenyan professionals to bolster the country’s workforce. I get to help a child, the child gets an education, and together, we build a better society. I can’t think of a better investment.
The founder and Moja Tu employees in Austin and Kenya are diligent and sincere in their work to fulfill Moja Tu’s mission. As a sponsor, I know that my contribution is invested directly in my student. She and I correspond through letters, pictures, and Skype calls, all facilitated by Moja Tu. When my daughter and I had the privilege of meeting my student in person, it was a wonderful time of celebrating her amazing strengths and for the three of us to share a very, very special bond of love and purpose. Moja Tu is a blessing to everyone it touches!
My husband and I have always believed that education is critical to improving the global community. When we heard about Moja Tu and the opportunities it provided to young people who were eager to further their education, we knew we wanted to be involved. We've been able to develop a relationship with the kids we sponsor, and it's been a privilege to witness them work for and achieve their goals.
