Welcome to the
World’s Happiest Ecosystem
for International Children
We are Expat Valley. We are the Ombudsperson for International Children.
We believe that international children and their families are part of an ecosystem surrounded by various types of organizations. Everyone benefits when these organizations consciously care for them, based on an understanding of how migration impacts these children’s lives.

Our team is always happy to meet you when they’re not busy designing or delivering our solutions. This is us:
Our History
Expat Valley was founded in 2021, on the realization that international children and their families struggle to find the information and support they need. More info on how it takes a village to raise a child can be found here.
We are reclaiming the word ‘Expat’, which comes from the Latin roots ex-, meaning “away from”, and -patria, meaning “one’s native country”. At Expat Valley, all children who are growing up away from home or in between countries, are welcome.
Our Valley intends to be a safe space, a place to find community and solutions for international children and anyone that cares about their wellbeing. Read our full Manifest here.
Expat Valley is a social enterprise with a continuously improving range of solutions and programs, all intended to accomplish our ultimate goal: we want international children to thrive!
