.....making a difference one child at a time

What's New?

For those of you who might have missed it, here's a wonderful story by Nathan VanderKlippe published earlier this year in Canada's Globe and Mail about why our help is still so desperatelyneeded by the families we are working with inMongolia.

Thanks to Follow The Lens Photography for their wonderful look at the riders of the Gobi Gallop 2016 -our biggest annual fundraiser and the longest annual charity horseback ride in the world!!

Please consider joining our team of international sponsors who, together, are making a future possible for children and families who currently survive by scavenging at the garbage dump.

 
Your Donation Goes To:         Your Monthly Sponsorship Helps:
  • Food, warmth and education for 130+ Children at the Children of the Peak Sanctuary in Ulaanbaatar Mongolia. 

  • Vocational training and small business development initiatives targeted at the 16+ year olds currently scavenging at the garbage dump.​

  • ​​Salaries and professional certification for assistant teachers, security guards, house mothers and cleaners who previously scavenged at the garbage dump to survive.
​​
  • The Soaring Crane Summer Camp - a traditional Mongolian countryside experience along with human rights education for 300 impoverished children​
The 2017 school year starts with 132 children! Each child costs $125.00 / mo to feed, shelter, educate and protect. To make this increase sustainable we are proud to provide you with an opportunity to become part of our team! We are thrilled to introduce our Monthly Sponsorship Programme! Commit to a monthly donation (see below) and you will receive an original art card courtesy of one of our very own mini artists, a photo of one or more of the children from the kindergarten that you can tack on your fridge, pin up at work or slip into your car's visor so that you will be reminded on a daily basis of the wonderful, positive impact you are having on these children and quarterly updates with lots of photos to show you what's been going on up at the Peak. Give a sponsorship in a friend or loved one's name and we will mail them (or you if you prefer) a lovely card to show them that a donation in their name has been made. We'll include a snapshot of the children and put them on the quarterly update list as well if you provide us with their email address!  

Take a moment to check out the slideshow and video presentation below and you'll see what it's all about. For more videos about the Sanctuary Kindergarten, check out our Recognition page.
One thing to keep in mind, as always 100% of all donated funds, every penny, goes to help the children. Any operating expenses for Veloo Foundation we cover personally.
​We think it's the right thing to do.                         

Take a moment to watch the videos below to see where your donation & sponsorship funds go.  
​Thank you.

Just so you know...

​100% of your donation goes directly to help the children.

Yes, you read that right. Every dollar! We believe that people have a right to have their hard earned and generously given money used for the purpose they donated it for so we, as a matter of policy, use our own funds to cover the operating expenses of Veloo Foundation.
