Story

Hi All,

Thanks for visiting our fundraising page!

This year "Team Mongolia" will be working in conjunction with an NGO named the "Equal Step" Centre to renovate a summer camp intended to give back some of a childhood and rehabilitate children involved in child labour and prostitution in Mongolia.

ESC's aim is to provide equal rights for all children where there are none due to severe poverty and other social problems and to help them to develop into harmonious citizens in Mongolia. Team Mongolia will help this process by renovating the summer camp and organising and running all activities in the camp to ensure all the children are cared for and entertained. Summer camps have been implored as being the most beneficial way of improving the way of life for impoverished children, forced into various forms of labour including prostitution, by leading childrens advocacy charities.

The money we raise will be directly used to provide materials for renovation and activities. It will be used to pay for the transport needed to get the children from the capital, Ulaanbataar, to the camp and to provide all the food and essentials for the children in the camp including, things like clothing, which the children severely lack.

Just £1.25 pays for a childs train fare to the camp. For £10 a child can be fed for the duration of their stay and £20 will provide clothing for 2 children.

We really need your help to raise our target so please dig deep and donate to us online.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor us: Edinburgh Global Partnerships will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

So please help us and donate now!


Many thanks for your support.
