Good Neighbors Mongolia was established in 2006. Due to harsh weather conditions, a nomadic lifestyle, and historical and diplomatic issues, Mongolia has faced widespread poverty, leading to unequal social development, environmental pollution, and challenging living conditions for children. Recognizing the vulnerability of children in these environments, Good Neighbors Mongolia initiated nationwide research on the Protection of Child Rights and has expanded its efforts to make Mongolia a child-friendly country.
We have been implementing community-focused projects based on the child rights and protection program in six districts of Ulaanbaatar city, as well as in Darkhan-Uul and Orkhon provinces. Thanks to the voluntary support of Mongolian citizens, volunteers, governments, non-governmental organizations, and international organizations, we have reached more than 233,000 children and their families in Mongolia, creating a positive impact on the communities we serve.
Despite the challenges posed by climate change, the pandemic, and social turbulence, Good Neighbors Mongolia has never hesitated to extend a helping hand wherever needed. We continue our community development initiatives to support children and communities in reclaiming their dignity.
Good Neighbors Mongolia is dedicated to establishing a system that respects and ensures child rights and protection. We have been implementing Community Development Projects within the framework of the nine main programs below:
Our interventions align with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Overall, we have contributed to 13 of the 17 goals, with the largest contributions being to SDGs 3 (Good Health and Well-Being), 4 (Quality Education), 6 (Clean Water and Sanitation), and 10 (Reduced Inequalities).
