About Expat Valley


Our Vision
We believe that international migration should be an enriching experience that allows children to thrive.

Our Mission
We are building the world’s happiest ecosystem for international children. This is a community where everyone benefits from extending care to these children.

Our Role
We are the Ombudsperson for International Children. Our purpose is to create systemic change by establishing successful relationships between international children and the organizations that want to be part of the World's Happiest Ecosystem.

Our Impact Model
Our Impact Model is a formula that allows us to distinguish how our activities contribute to our mission in alignment with our vision: Awareness + Action = Change. We raise awareness with various stakeholders about international children’s experiences and facilitate action for positive change.





Our History


Expat Valley was founded in 2021, inspired by the realization that family needs and wellbeing are often overlooked by organizations supporting internationally mobile families. Since then, we have been dedicated to offering holistic support to internationally mobile families and navigating the complex landscape of various stakeholders. 

Milestones:
In 2022, we implemented the First Aid Kid for our first multinational corporate client.
In 2023, we extended our support to service providers in the global mobility industry.
In 2024 we are launching: 
  • Family Support Services;
  • Global Family Library;
  • Ask Me Anything events;
  • International Family Expert Alliance.
