Afghanistan
40 Years of War majority under 16 years
Our Educational shows alone have reached over 3.8 million live audience and our daily simultaneous activities in 6 regions of Afghanistan has 1500 participant children. MMCC has become a treasure of hope, fun, joy as well as trauma therapy and psycho-social help for so many children.
All the activities in Afghanistan are now fully implemented by MMCC’s local partner, AECC (Afghan Educational Children Cicus). AECC was established in 2009 to ensure the activities initiated by MMCC can continue for many years to come. The program in Afghanistan is the corner-stone of MMCC, who therefore also continue to both supervise and financially secure the basic needs of AECC’s National Program by donations.
Please view the latest annual report of AECC:
Bangladesh
1 million Rohingya refugees – 600,000 children.
The world’s biggest refugee camp. Rohingya Muslims from Myanmar, in Cox Bazar, Bangladesh. THIS needs a circus to bring some smiles and fun. In February 2018, MMCC with a team of four Afghan circus trainers performed, trained a local Circus team and introduced and initiated Social Circus for more than 10,000 Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh. To enable the activities to continue we also build a Circus Dome next to the school run by our host and local partner, Moonlight Development Foundation, MDF.
The Bangladesh initiative served as a pilot for MMCC’s plans for expanding activities to more countries by using the methodology and strategies developed in Afghanistan over the past 15 years. MMCC’s new strategy was thereby developed based on the success and lessons learned in Bangladesh.
The activities in Bangladesh were implemented in partnership with Moonlight Development Foundation, MDF Financially the Bangladesh initiative was enabled thanks to support from Mustard Seed Trust Fund.
We welcome any new partnerships for initiating such activities in Bangladesh as well as any refugee camps anywhere in the world.
New Frontiers:
providing all our resources and skills for as many children and youth as possible
Since 2002 MMCC has been developing its systems and pedagogy and with its accumulated experiences is pioneering the new frontiers.
MMCC’s strategy for 2020 & 201 includes:
- Establishing an African headquarter as a main center for developing and disseminating activities in Africa.
- Implementing social circus activities in multiple refugee camps in Africa.
- Creating an expansion model to sustain spreading our pedagogy and methods in the region.

Refugee Camps
70.8 million people have been forcibly displaced worldwide!
A refugee camp is a temporary settlement built to receive refugees and people in refugee-like situations. Refugee camps usually accommodate displaced persons who have fled their home country, but there are also camps for “IDP” Internally Displaced people.
MMCC has over a decade of experience in working with children and youth of such camps in different provinces of Afghanistan and Bangladesh as well. The work of MMCC in these harsh environments have been mainly focused on:
- Educating life skills such as hygiene, landmine awareness and peace education by workshops and performances.
- Distracting from the war and traumas and bringing joy and hope and laughter and fun.
- Socializing and organizing the children and youth to be positive leaders of their communities instead of war victims.
Some of MMCC’s partners and sponsors in these projects have been: WHH, UNICEF, WHO, WarChild and Solidarites International .
