In partnership with

Since 2000, volunteers from all over the world have participated in summer programs designed to help improve the vegetable farm at the Childcare Center of Mongolia (Children's Home). However, between 2014-2018 they decided to discontinue their farming activities due to a lack of human resources and the unavailability of farming land. In 2017, our organization managed to rent farming land for the Children's Home, and they resumed their farming activities on this new land. As a result, our cooperation with their farm restarted in 2018. One of the main roles of international volunteers will be assisting with the farming work at the Children's Home.


Description of the Work

The main activities include farming vegetables such as potatoes, carrots, radishes, and others at the farming camp, as well as organizing leisure activities with children from the children’s home. Volunteers may also work on building concrete fences to protect the new farm. It can be quite tiring, but let’s enjoy it.
