moju

moju = IMPACT!

The last ministry I will feature in this series is called Moju Project. The founders of Moju say this about themselves:

This project is fully owned and operated by lovers of Jesus. We have no affiliation with any specific organization or denomination. We strive everyday to perform the work that we believe Jesus would do if He were in our shoes :)

So what is that specific “work?” Again, I’ll let them explain:

The Moju Project is about uniting together as one to save one. Our tag line, "fashioned to save the world," means that anything you purchase through our site goes towards saving a life.

The beginning concept for the Moju Project is simple: Every T-shirt that we sell feeds an orphan one hot meal daily for one month in Africa. We are able to do this because of our unique partnerships with
responsible organizations around the world.

There has never been an easier and more fulfilling way to impact someone's life by doing something as simple as purchasing a T-shirt. Our goal is to offer unique and creative T- shirts that people want to wear, not only because of the great designs, but also because they know their money is going towards saving lives.

Every day, almost 16,000 children die from hunger-related causes--one child every five seconds. (Lancet 2007)

Through the sales of our T-shirts and community efforts, we will raise awareness of these epidemics and provide a practical way to help stop them.

By closely working with our organizations we can not only track the impact we are making in Africa but we can also guarantee where our dollars are being spent.

The word moju is Estonian and means "to impact". We are the Moju generation!


INDIVIDUALLY WE CAN ACCOMPLISH VERY LITTLE... TOGETHER WE CAN SAVE THE WORLD!




I appreciate the simple and creative way the founders of Mujo have come up with to make a difference in the world for Jesus Christ. The specific organization they work with is called Children’s HopeChest. Founded in 1987, “they have focused on providing food, support, child sponsorship and so much more to countless orphans in Russia and Africa. Children’s HopeChest believes that every orphan has the right to know God, experience the blessing of family, and have the opportunity to develop independent living skills.”
- Every T-shirt you buy feeds an orphan for 1 month in.
- All of our T-shirts are Fair Trade
- All of our T-shirts are super-soft American Apparel; no stiff shirts here!
- The back of every moju shirt reads "This T-shirt fed an orphan for 1 month."
As I said, a simple and creative, yet powerful and very tangible way you can make a difference in the world. One small act of buying a pretty cool looking t-shirt can help change a young child’s life. And that is truly being, or having, a redemptive presence in the world.
