Moving Mountains now has four 'arms' to it, following Gavin's vision from many years ago to create a truly efficient management system which each sector taking care of what it knows best:

MM UK - provides the essential strategy for the future, pays for the bulk of the projects and works to integrate the charitable end with the corporate end. This continues to be the most successful way in which to promote the charity, and further allows Adventure Alternative to fully underwrite the cost of running MM, especially since Andy MacDonald and Chris Little work for both and donate their time accordingly.

MM Ireland - is a seperate organisation with its own constitution, but its role is to raise funds for the work of Moving Mountains directly to the Kenyan operational end.

MM Kenya - this is a registered NGO in Nairobi with a huge remit country-wide for schools, orphanages, clinics, rescue centres, family support centres, community centres and hundreds of children and their families currently receiving support. Additionally it employs many people and provides long term career opportunities.

MM Nepal  - this is a registered NGO based in Kathmandu which is the operational centre for all of our projects in Nepal, which include hydro-electric power supply, businesses such as our tea plantation, schools, educational support, and monasteries.

Nepal - Trek the Himalayan lowlands and visit our model green village
23rd May - 7th June 2009. Trek from Jiri, outside Kathmandu through the lesser visited lowland Himalaya
to reach the beautiful villages of Bumburi, Khari Khola and Bupsa. Here you can rest awhile and see the impact of our hydro-electric power station, the school, monastery and businesses which have all benefitted from electricity. Bumburi now produces its own dried tea with the resources we have supplied and exports to the markets. Afterwards, continue to Lukla and fly back to Kathmandu. An easy trek with no altitude issues through beautiful countryside and Nepalese culture.
The cost of the trip is £800.00 for the whole two weeks excluding flights, insurance and personal spending money.
The target for fundraising is £1500.00 per person.
