Sponsor a Child in Mongolia with SOS
Children
Mongolia is a mountainous,
land-locked country in East Central Asia, bordered by Russia and China. Its
climate is extreme, characterised by long sub-arctic winters. Following the
more severe winters, children are at high risk of developing extreme fatigue
and malnutrition, deterioration in their health and weakening of immunity to
acute infections as a result of physical and psychological stress.
In 1990 Mongolia abandoned its 70-year-old Soviet-style one-party state in
favour of political and economic reforms. Democracy and privatisation were
enshrined in a new constitution, but the collapse of the economy after the
withdrawal of Soviet support caused widespread poverty and threatened social
stability.
In 1997, the charity was invited by the Mongolian government to discuss the
possibility of setting up a community for children. Following an agreement
between the two parties in 1998, a suitable site was found on the outskirts
of the capital, Ulaanbataar. Work began in 2000 but because of extreme
weather conditions and bureaucratic delays, the village was not completed
until the summer of 2002 when the first SOS families were able to move in.
The local infrastructure is not very developed and there are few shopping
and social facilities in the area. Most of the schools in the area are
overcrowded.
SOS Children's Village Ulanbaatar has fourteen family houses which are home
to 110 children and their SOS mothers. A second SOS Children’s Village is
planned to be built at Darkhan in the north of the country. When completed
there will be 14 family houses for 140 orphaned and abandoned children.
