MOMO Pencils champions the circular economy and green manufacturing by converting waste newspapers into durable, eco-friendly pencils. Lower your environmental footprint, support forest conservation, and align with modern ESG and CSR standards.

In Kenya, millions of children lack a simple pencil to start learning. Hope For Literacy by MOMO Pencils donates eco-friendly pencils and plants fruit trees, nourishing minds, protecting the environment, and helping children break free from intergenerational poverty.

By partnering with Hope For Literacy and MOMO Pencils, you invest in 1 million children’s futures, support eco-friendly education, advance Africa’s sustainable development, and align your organization with key UN SDGs: Quality Education (SDG 4) and Climate Action (SDG 13).

Every year, when we pause to reflect on the journey of Hope For Literacy, we are reminded that our work is not defined by reports or numbers alone, but by children whose futures are quietly changed when given the chance to learn.

What moves me most is not only what Hope For Literacy achieved, but how delivering sustainable, locally made MOMO Pencils that honour people and planet proves that small actions create powerful, lasting change for children.

Under Kenya Vision 2030, the country targets 10% forest cover. MOMO leads this climate action by developing scalable eco-initiatives, sharing research and data-driven insights, advocating stronger environmental policies, and partnering with international organizations and corporates to accelerate reforestation and biodiversity conservation.

Over five years, MO AND MO COMPANY LTD will produce 5,000,000 eco-friendly MOMO Pencils, grow a youth eco-community planting 2,000,000 trees, and partner with 200 organizations to drive green growth, climate-smart education, ESG-aligned projects, and sustainable development across Africa.

HOPE FOR LITERACY is MOMO Pencils’ flagship education and literacy campaign, partnering with donors and corporates to provide eco-friendly school supplies, sponsor eco pencil kits, and co-create branded initiatives that improve literacy, support refugee and rural schools, and measure social-environmental impact.
