The Mountain Children's Foundation (MCF), a nonprofit society, had its beginnings in the International Conference of Mountain Children (ICMC) held in Dehradun in May 2002.

The MCF grew out of the UN's declaration of the year 2002 as the International Year of the Mountains and is inspired in part by the Global Movement for Children.

The MCF’s drive and energy come from the many social organisations, national and international, who for long have been in the service of children. The MCF continues to aggregate and synergise its efforts against the background of a growing concern for the fact that the  percentage of children in the total population in most developing countries is on the rise.

The basic tenet of the MCF is to encourage self-motivated groups of children to drive the Mountain Children's Foundation. The MCF never believes in telling children what to do. It rather leads them on in a process of discovery and exploration of their community, their milieu, their environment and eventually themselves.
