Emergency Food & Fuel Drive
for
Seriously Disadvantaged Children
and Their Families
As you all know, the world is currently struggling with school & travel closures and self quarantine as a result of the Covid-19 Corona Virus. Mongolia is no exception.
After 10 months of relative freedom from Covid-19 Mongolia is now in the throes of community spread infection. It is hitting the ger district here in Ulaanbaatar particularly hard.
In response to Government Isolation Requirements, our kindergartens have been closed since November 10, 2020 and all of our families and community members are under strict quarantine and hard lockdown conditions.
We expect this to continue indefinitely
This means for almost all of them there is no income, hence no way to buy food or fuel for their stoves as the nights dip down to -25 Celsius and winter settles in and no means to access the internet which is so critical now for students' educational access.
-Any Donation is Gratefully Accepted-

Our children are being very negatively affected by this Kindergarten closure as many of our families, who are some of the most disadvantaged families in Ulaanbaatar, without the help of Narnii Huuhduud Kindergarten struggle to ensure that their children are warm and are receiving adequate nutrition. In order to address this, we have started focussing primarily on ensuring that the children receive food and sanitary supplies to ensure as best we can that their nutrition and health needs taken care of.
|
To that end, we are beginning to distribute hampers to our families including such things as , rice, flour, fruit, vegetables, oil, meat, soap, toothpaste and vitamins and coal for their stoves. Please join us in ensuring that while the children are confined to their homes during this difficult period that their health needs are addressed. Your support is invaluable to us and will make a huge difference in the lives and health of the children.
