Mongolian Adventure!
“Every night I go to sleep in my bed. I lay peacefully between clean sheets under a sturdy roof. With a full belly I know I am safe, and my family sleep close by. I drift away, often thinking about tomorrow’s errands. Whilst I sleep soundly in my bed, others are cold, exposed, vulnerable, alone and hungry. This is the reality for 36% of the Mongolian population, with over 14% of children in Mongolia relegated to the streets. These people, particularly children, are subjected to levels of poverty that significantly affect their basic human rights. Many of these children are exposed to increased use of illicit drugs, alcoholism and mental health problems. The lack of health care accessibility and practises results in increased risk of contracting diseases. Of the whole Mongolian population, only 60% have access to basic sanitation services and facilities, leaving the other 40% of the population to use limited sanitation facilities, or no access at all! In affiliation with this, only 24% of the population drink from water sourced from pipes, whilst 32% of people drink from unimproved water sources.
Children that are subjected this sort of poverty are often from isolated areas outside the cities, where their access to education is not of the same standard. As a result, the education these children are exposed to can often be lacking key materials and resources.
If the children are not in schools, then they will likely be forced into labour to make a living. Unsurprisingly, many children leave the classroom in order to try to financially support their families. Children are often found working in hazardous environments, including garbage dumps and mines. Children without families are often found wandering the streets in search of food, shelter and safety. The fate for these children is devastating as they’re often swept up by criminals and thrown into drug and sex trafficking. The worst circumstances come to the physically and mentally disabled, as they’re constantly marginalised, rejected and excluded from their communities. Education and medical attention is often denied, seeing their basic human rights violated. The facilities dedicated to caring for these special kids are usually inadequately equipped and lack proper resources.
The circumstances these children are subjected to is heartbreaking and appalling. No one deserves to feel neglected, unsafe or rejected. Everyone, especially these Mongolian children, should have access to proper health care services, adequate education, access to safe food and water, and a safe place to sleep at night.
It is important that we, as a wealthy and privileged society, help those who cannot help themselves. A small donation can make a world of difference for these impoverished children, and together we can begin to improve the lives of disadvantaged communities!”

The reason why this ride matters!
Seeing these children safe and warm at the Children of the Peak Sanctuary is what motivates me. Thank you for helping me help them!
