About Us
The Veloo Foundation is a family-run grassroots organization that provides a community-based solution to urban poverty in ger districts in northwest Ulaan Baatar. In the wake of the economic boom, rapid urbanization to the capital city of Mongolia has resulted in neighbourhoods of intense poverty with little infrastructure. The Veloo Foundation specifically addresses this issue by providing a central kindergarten for 60 children who would otherwise spend their days, along with their parents and siblings, picking through garbage at one of the city’s largest dump sites. The school not only serves to give these children a warm, safe space but is the first permanent community building in its area and has engaged members of the community in its construction and daily functions. In addition Veloo Foundation is working toward providing health, vocational and educational opportunities not only for the children working at the dump, but for their parents as well. The Veloo Foundation is a registered Canadian Charity and a 501(c) 3 charitable organization in the United States. We believe that donated monies should ALL go to help the children so 100% of all donated funds go directly to our projects. We cover operating expenses for the foundation ourselves.
