Mongolia: moving Kindergarten

Tumentsogt is located about 470 km from the capital Ulaan Bator. The small village has 2475 inhabitants. 224 children between 2-5 years and about 800 children of school age.

The kindergarten was built in 1961, but the number of children visiting it is much higher than originally thought. Only 80% of children can attend a kindergarten. In the surrounding areas, children of nomadic families are unable to attend kindergarten due to the lack of space or the distance they should travel each day.

In recent years, the director and the teachers, to allow nomadic children to use at least a kindergarten, have rented a van equipped with games, books and everything you need: a table, a camping stove. So they can be provided with a meal during the day. The van stops for two weeks in different places, in each village 10-15 children between the ages of 2-6 years are made happy. They are waiting eagerly for the arrival of the car.

In order to reach even more families of nomads, we are informed about what could cost a van, which then remains the property of the kindergarten.

We hope that we can gather as much as we need soon to make more children happy.
