What Stichting M.O.E.T. does

Stichting M.O.E.T. (Met Onderwijs Een Toekomst — With Education A Future) is a Dutch non-profit foundation founded in 2006 by students in Amsterdam. The foundation operates a dual mission: supporting and supplementing education in regions where people cannot easily obtain or afford it, and raising awareness among Amsterdam students about development cooperation processes to inspire a new generation of global citizens. The organization supports over 265 students across six African countries — Burkina Faso, Sierra Leone, Senegal, Tanzania, Zambia, and Malawi — with two primary active programs: a vocational school (ambachtsschool) in Burkina Faso and the Family Business Scheme in Sierra Leone, alongside a pilot trauma therapy center in Senegal.

The foundation's core offerings are programmatic and operate through partnerships rather than proprietary technology. The Burkina Faso vocational school provides professional and local education to local students; the Sierra Leone Family Business Scheme, delivered with Street Child, identifies out-of-school children, provides one year of education funding, and supports mothers with microcredit and business training to sustain school fees; the Senegal pilot, delivered with Kinderpostzegels, provides trauma therapy for children with PTSD or extreme poverty effects. Stichting M.O.E.T. holds ANBI (Algemeen Nut Beogende Instelling) status from the Dutch Tax Authority, making donations tax-deductible for Dutch taxpayers. The foundation is institutionally connected to A.S.C./A.V.S.V., the largest student association in the Netherlands, which provides a structural donor pipeline.

Revenue is generated entirely through donations and fundraising activities — no products or services are sold. With 3,516 donors and approximately 9 employees, the foundation operates a community-led go-to-market model: event-driven fundraising (notably the Amsterdam Marathon 'Run for our girls' campaign, which raised €10,792 in 2024), email newsletters (MOET-mail), and social media engagement on Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, and YouTube. Strategic partnerships with Street Child and Kinderpostzegels extend programmatic reach and in-country delivery capacity, while corporate donors such as The Rent Company provide in-kind support. The technology stack is minimal — a Wix-hosted website and standard email/social tools — with no proprietary platform, API, or data infrastructure.
