Public benefits
PREVENTION OR RELIEF OF POVERTY: All of the work of Moving Mountains contributes to prevention and relief of poverty, directly benefitting those who receive support as well as reducing prevalance of suffering and inequality in society. Our strategic development partnerships and programmes are targeted to support the poorest, most marginalised young
people, families and communities, particularly street children and families, urban slum communities, internally displaced people and impoverished rural communities. ADVANCEMENT OF EDUCATION: Advancing education is at the heart of what we do, with focus on areas where our work can have greatest impact and for those most in need, particularly street children and young people from urban slum communities and impoverished rural communities. We work directly with underfunded schools, both in urban and rural contexts, improving the quality and reach of education for communities most in need. Advancing education improves knowledge and skills, resulting in improved confidence, employment opportunities and well-being on an individual and family level and impacting positively on socio-economic development on a wider level. Promoting our work also educates the public and increases awareness of other cultures and development contexts, helping to create informed, active and engaged citizens, capable and motivated to contribute to the development of their own communities. ADVANCEMENT OF HEALTH OR SAVING OF LIVES: We work with disadvantaged and underfunded health organisations, hospitals and communities, supporting health services to reduce illness and disease and reducing the financial burden on families and individuals in accessing health services. Our work increasing awareness of healthy living and disease prevention also reduces the demand for health services. ADVANCEMENT OF CITIZENSHIP OR COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT: Sustainable community development and active citizenship are also at the heart of our work. By involving and empowering beneficiaries and relevant stakeholders in projects we advance citizenship and encourage and support beneficiaries to become agents of development and change. Individuals benefit by becoming key to the process of development whilst wider society benefits through positive transformation of communities and effective solutions to development issues. RELIEF OF THOSE IN NEED BY REASON OF YOUTH, AGE, ILL HEALTH, DISABILITY, FINANCIAL HARDSHIP OR OTHER DISADVANTAGE: We provide social welfare support to these vulnerable groups where existing support services are lacking. The public benefits from the support received through reduction of the burden placed on existing carers and services and by ensuring the well-being of these groups is met. In terms of harm: our activities incur no harm to any person or persons, we take systematic measures to ensure that this is the case and to protect staff, beneficiaries, the wider community and all stakeholders who are involved with or affected by our work. We utilise risk assessment analysis to identify and mitigate any potential negative consequences related to our work and use this information in the formulation and implementation of our projects and programmes. no individuals receive private benefit from the operation of the charity other than incidental benefits through working with our organisation. The beneficiaries of our work are disadvantaged children, young people, families and communities in developing countries, namely Kenya, Nepal, Borneo and Tanzania. The general public in each of the countries in which we work are also indirect beneficiaries of our work. We support volunteers through participation in a guided personal development experience whilst supporting community development in Africa and Asia.

us move mountains for people to succeed and improve their quality of life. OUR MISSION: We are on a mission to help people enjoy equality and equal opportunity, and have a positive impact on society. Ultimately this begins with empowerment and we believe it is the main way in which people can achieve their potential and for communities to become the architects of their own success. We challenge prejudice and stereotyping and create fair working models of development. We aim for a democratic and non-prescriptive model of development which begins with people, attitudes and relationships. We work with local stakeholders to find solutions to social, environmental and economic challenges, and be part of a team where collaboration is the key. We are underpinned by a duty to protect human rights and natural resources, and to promote social justice and equality for everyone. We are committed to bringing practical support to disadvantaged children, young people, families and communities in the developing world. We create holistic long-term development partnerships which build capacity and empower local people to identify and address educational, health, social, economic and environmental issues in their communities. We work in partnership with communities, schools, village development committees, local authorities and a range of grass roots organisations to identify development needs in each area in which we operate and to formulate and implement projects and programmes to address these needs, all within a wider holistic and long-term development strategy and vision for the region.
