Once we were confronted with the realisation that so many people are not as privileged as us. At the same time, we were deeply moved by people doing everything they can to make a difference for the local community. Making big efforts to change the future of the local women and children. A change that is badly needed, especially when it comes to education. There\u2019s desperate need to enhance the chances of a brighter future and to establish a solid foundation of self-sufficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s how Moving Mountains was born.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We think children deserve a better future and that\u2019s why we are dedicated to help. We cannot do this alone, but<br><strong>TOGETHER WE CAN MOVE MOUNTAINS.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">WE empower Connect Act<\/h3>\n\n\r\n    <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\n\n<div class=\"mm-width-container has-background has-mm-yellow-background-color\"  >\r\n    <div class=\"container\" >\r\n        \n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/movingmountains.world\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/02\/logo_b.svg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-265\" width=\"300\" height=\"105\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\r\n    <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\n\n<div class=\"mm-width-container \"  >\r\n    <div class=\"container\" >\r\n        \n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Get to know us<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Moving Mountains - Our story\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/mSmRLHHntnY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:57px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Meet the team<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">What started off as an initiative from a group of ambitious friends, has evolved into a professional team of dedicated people.
