Moving Mountains, One Child at a Time
We invest in education, health, and social welfare initiatives that support children in impoverished communities—empowering the next generation with the skills, opportunities, and resilience to create lasting, sustainable change in the places they call home. Currently our support is focused in Kenya and Nepal.
The Challenge
36% of Kenyans live in extreme poverty,
surviving on less than $2.15 per day—a daily struggle for food, shelter, and basic dignity.
Developmental delays affect nearly 1 in 3 Kenyan children under five,
driven by poverty, malnutrition, and limited access to early childhood development programs.
Hidden school costs in Kenya,
enrollment fees, lunch, uniforms, and school supplies, keep over a million primary school children out of the classroom.
Kenya faces a serious hunger crisis—
35% of the population is undernourished and 18% of children under five suffer from stunted growth, a devastating result of widespread hunger.
1 in 4 people in rural Nepal live in multidimensional poverty,
lacking basic education and healthcare, and living without electricity, clean water, or sanitation.
Many rural schools in Nepal lack essential resources—
including qualified teachers, adequate classroom space, and basic learning materials—creating significant barriers to healthy child development.
Our Response
Through Moving Mountains Trust and its local partners, we support community-led solutions that:
Provide food security and clean water so children have the strength to grow and learn.
Expand access to education, enhance learning programs, and improve school environments from early childhood through secondary education.
Advance holistic child development by equipping children with the resources, guidance, and opportunities they need to thrive.
Your Impact
The need is profound, but the cost to help is remarkably low—
In Kenya
$120/year ensures a child receives a hot lunch every school day.
$30/year provides a nutritious breakfast each weekday for a child in an Early Childhood Development (ECD) program.
$100/year gives one child a place in the Black Cats Football Academy—a safe, structured alternative to street life.
As little as $5,000 builds a classroom, opening the door to education for dozens of children.
In Nepal
$90/year per child supports teachers’ salaries, keeping education accessible for children.
$3,000/year supports two nurses providing emergency and social care to a community of 1,100 people.
$6,000 installs a clean water system for 40 households, delivering clean water to about 160 people.
$6,000 funds a 10-day medical camp, delivering free health checks to 2,000 villagers.
