Mongolia
Why World Vision is in Mongolia
Mongolia is a large, land-locked country with a small population of around 3 million people. While the country is still known for its nomadic herding, its population has become increasingly urban as families seek better education for their children and job opportunities. The country has seen economic and social development over the last decade but this slowed sharply in 2015 because of an overreliance on mining and agriculture and extremely poor infrastructure in rural areas. The poverty rate has decreased over the last decade by still stands at 22% of the population. Poverty in Mongolia is compounded by a lack of jobs, urban migration, harsh winters, lack of access to water and sanitation, low food security, and disability. World Vision is working to protect children from violence and exploitation, particularly as more children move into urban slums. We are also working with the poorest households in both rural and urban areas to diversify their income generation, improve food security, prepare for frequent severely cold winters known as dzuds, educate their children, and live healthy lives. We work closely with the Mongolian government, churches and other faith-based organizations, and local community groups. World Vision is the largest humanitarian organization in Mongolia and our programming extends to virtually every province in the country.
