ABOUT
Fully sustainable villages, built with the 14 Mountain Blueprint, throughout the world, connected through trade, relationship and Love.
Built by kids for the kids. They rebuild the very world that tried to destroy them.
A place of nurture, teaching, love and connection to raise the worlds leaders of tomorrow.
Our 14 Mountain Blueprint meets all Sustainability Development Goals.
Children learn all aspects of building a sustainable and prosperous village by living in them and being part of the building process. Their education includes organic farming, entrepreneurship, arts, natural medicines, sustainable pure water supply, clean and renewable electricity supply, all natural home construction, health and healing, governance, family connection, creativity through arts, sports and so much more.
Proverbs 24:3-4
Wise people are builders — they build families, businesses, communities.
And through intelligence and insight their enterprises are established and endure.
Because of their skilled leadership, the hearts of people are filled with the treasures of wisdom
and the pleasures of spiritual wealth.
OUR LOCATIONS
While we would love to share photos and videos of our amazing children and leaders, it is more important that we protect them, the mission and the locations. It is unfortunate there are forces in the world set on preventing the children and our villages from succeeding in the mission.
VILLAGE DEVELOPMENT PATHWAY
Each village is built at the pace the local leaders determine for themselves, while being connected to the
global community of other village builders.
Level 1 Observers
Leaders who want to be connected but observe from a distance before engaging in active training and building.
Level 2 Foundation Builders
Leaders engaging in active training and community to lay solid foundations so the village is sustainable over the long-term. Training includes preparing the heart to build with integrity, understanding WHY we are building, and HOW we build.
Level 3 Structure Builders
Leaders have access to our Technology Library with all the information to build the 14 Mountain Blueprint. We walk together as a global village building and implementing the blueprint at each location so every leader is supported and united.
Level 4 Training Center
These villages are fully built with all 14 Mountains functioning. They are ready to begin the expansion process and accommodate resident intern leaders to come and learn how to build.
Level 5 Leader Launchers
These villages are launching fully trained leaders as teams to go and build new villages in locations where there is a need.
