Moving Mountains Trust
We are an international charity working with disadvantaged children and communities in Kenya, Tanzania and Nepal. We have been established since 2001 and we have a Trust registered in the United Kingdom, two NGOs registered in Kenya and Nepal, and a Friends of Moving Mountains Inc registered in the United States of America.
Our central objective is the relief of poverty and we fund programmes and projects dedicated to education, health and social welfare. We rely on donations and campaigns and also visits from volunteers and school groups and medical electives to help further our work.
Moving Mountains is administratively supported by the travel company Adventure Alternative, and both organisations were set up by the founder Gavin Bate.
Changing Lives by getting involved
We offer opportunities for volunteers, school groups and medical elective students to get involved in our work and help fundraise for the beneficiaries. Since 2001 we have been co-ordinating school groups to take part in some of the annual programmes like the Likeskills AfriCamp for children in Kenya or trekking up into the Himalayas to learn about development projects in Nepal. Volunteers regularly spend time in Kenya helping to run our programmes which include lifeskills, music, sports and outdoor education. Medical students have helped to run free health camps in the Himalayas and assist the pediatric programmes in Kenya which include vaccinations and health checks in schools. We also are happy to involve qualified medical professionals, especially in our trauma counselling service.
