The MCF is all about breaking down barriers between people and helping the young people tap the power of collective action. It is essential to the MCF’s success that the young people be able to work with and access the local government, so we have made a great effort to build strong relationships with government officials while remaining apolitical.
MCF recently concluded a year long RTI project working with kids from over 100 villages through 19 partners. Nearly 3600 children filed a total of 479 RTI applications.

To provide a forum for young people to express their views, share their concerns and learn from each other, to empower the children to change their lives and communities through local, collective action.
The MCF aims to improve the lives of people in rural mountain communities by tapping into their own resourcefulness and energy, particularly the energy and resourcefulness of the children. Working primarily with young people between the ages of 12-18, the MCF works towards broadbased change in attitudes (e.g. sense of apathy and helplessness in changing their lives, gender bias, casteism, etc.) and the physical, economic, environmental and social health of the community. We have found that that children can be powerful agents of change, because they are able to influence the attitudes and beliefs of the entire community. Furthermore, in a few short years, they will be the adults in the community, so by empowering and engaging them now, we are making a significant investment in the future.
