Change

The community of Zavkhankhangai has graduated

In 2021, the community has transitioned from sponsorship to self-sufficiency and World Vision is no longer on site. Local people and organizations have been equipped to take over and lead the community's development - and that is something to celebrate!

Program Details

With the help of your generous and loving support, life in Zavkhankhangai has transformed. Children and families are much stronger now. The community has met its goals, they have graduated to self-sufficiency and World Vision has left the community to help another one. Your support will have a lasting impact for years to come.

Context

The Zavkhankhangai community is located in western Mongolia, about 1,060 km from Ulaanbaatar, the capital city. The climate in this hilly territory is extremely harsh, with hot summers and very cold winters. There are many rivers and lakes, and paved roads are scarce. Most people live in homes called gers, which are traditional Mongolian tents made of felt.

The unemployment rate is high and poverty is chronic. Livestock is the mainstay of the economy, but the economic repercussions of two consecutive severe snowstorms several years ago, in which more than 1 million stock animals died, are still being felt. Families who depend on livestock often find it difficult to make ends meet because of the extreme weather and lack of infrastructure. The loss of income since two years ago has forced many people to migrate to the cities to look for work.
