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!
