MoMo was founded in 2021 by Julia Strijland in collaboration with Sarah Wanjira, who has set up a trust organisation in Kenya. MoMo Education by Sister Schools Foundation offers schools a two-year digital educational exchange program for pupils in the age groups 10-12, 13-15 and 16-18 years between schools on both sides of the wealth divide. Pupils get a broader perspective on reality and a better grip on their environment by exchanging information, knowledge and experiences between pupils of a different socio-economic and cultural background. The sister relationship between the schools is facilitated through the Digital Educational Exchange Platform (DEEP). There are exchange moments with the teachers prior to each lesson block with 3 lesson blocks of 6 weeks per year.

According to the statutes, ‘’Sister Schools has the objective to stimulate worldwide awareness and cooperation by enabling authentic, intercultural Project Based Learning (PBL) experiences. Students from all over the world can use the Sister Schools program connecting and communicating during school time, learning from each other through exchanging experiences, thoughts and beliefs/ideas, values and culture.
Pupils are trained in twenty-first century skills such as critical thinking, problem-solving learning, digital skills and intercultural collaboration and- communication.
The second goal is to give more children in developing countries the opportunities for (digital) education. Digital learning spaces will be facilitated in schools, which otherwise would not have those resources. Through supporting the local schools, we support the achievement of all Sustainable Development Goals (SDG’s) mainly to make quality education accessible to all children and to perform anything related to or conducive thereto.
