Current Travels

Staff and team members of the MOYA Foundation have traveled to Africa several times in the last year to meet with regional leaders, educators and construction teams.

Our Mission

The MOYA Foundation exists to advocate for the worth and rights of children with Autism, Down Syndrome, and Deafness by establishing a model for Christian-based education and therapy centers that equip teachers, parents, and children to overcome hurdles associated with those special needs. MOYA Centers minister to communities; provide therapy, life skills, and academic instruction to children with special needs; and influence decision makers to implement institutional changes that reflect the acceptance and value of people with special needs.
