In 2023, MOJA launched its flagship program, MOJA Garden, in partnership with a renowned boarding school in Gulu, Uganda—celebrated for its exceptional standards and supportive environment. MOJA Garden provides full scholarships to underprivileged primary school girls from rural Uganda, covering tuition, board, lodging, and extracurricular support. This programme saw ten MOJA Garden students successfully advance to the next grade, with three more students set to join in February 2025. Building on this success, MOJA plans to launch the MOJA IMAGINARIUM in 2025—a cutting-edge educational hub equipped with advanced tools such as 3D printers and laser cutters. Designed to ignite creativity, critical thinking, and entrepreneurship, the IMAGINARIUM will empower over 300 students with essential 21st-century skills, including digital literacy, design-thinking, and emotional intelligence. Through experiential learning, students will engage in hands-on design challenges that address local issues and foster entrepreneurial innovation. Complementing the school curriculum, the programme will also offer regular workshops and personalised mentorship, fostering holistic growth in education, entrepreneurship, and well-being.

Currently, MOJA employs a diversified funding approach to ensure sustainability and scalability. Primary sources include grants from foundations and government bodies, MOJA memberships engaging individual donors, and strategic corporate partnerships. The organisation also benefits from in-kind contributions, such as equipment and expertise from technology and educational institutions. This multi-stream strategy reduces dependency on single sources, enhances resilience, and secures resources for expanding programs like the IMAGINARIUM, enabling impactful and measurable change in underserved communities.
