About Us

Message from Chair & Founder Isaac Kuria

I hope this message finds you well. Myles of Great Hopes, or MOGH for short, is a volunteer-led, multicultural organization dedicated to Reviving, Empowering, and Sustaining the hopes of communities in rural Kenya and beyond. At MOGH, we believe that empowering young minds through water, education, and sanitation health programs help to foster sustainable growth.

To achieve our goals of building promising futures and healthier communities, we rely on the generous support of local, national, and global partners.

We invite you to join us in this worthwhile effort! Your contributions will help us continue to deliver impactful programs that transform the lives of thousands of youth. By supporting MOGH, you are investing in sustainable development and empowering the next generation of leaders.

Thank you for considering this opportunity to support MOGH. We look forward to the possibility of working together to achieve our shared goals.

Water

Our primary focus is to identify and assess abandoned wells in hopes of restoring them for underserved communities in Kenya. Given the limited resources, our belief is that restoring existing wells is an effective and immediate strategy that benefits a arger number of affected communities.

Education

Our signature educational initiative, MOGH-SAM (Scratch a Mind), is a creative coding and digital-making program that leverages Scratch, a block-based programming language developed by MIT Media Labs. Our curriculum incorporates learning activities from the Creative Computing Curriculum at Harvard Graduate School of Education and Learning Paths from the Raspberry Pi Foundation.

Sanitation & Health

Addressing proper hygiene and avoiding sicknesses through waterborne contamination are some of the ways that MOGH is making an impact in sanitation and health. We offer seminars and workshops in places of learning or community-based public forums such as schools and churches to help advance this agenda in the right direction.
