Welcome to MongoliAid …
December 31st, 2011
Welcome to the home page of MongoliAid.
MongoliAid International Inc. was incorporated in Queensland, Australia on 6 March, 2009 and was registered as a charity [CH1808] on 15 July of that year. A concerted effort to help Mongolians, particularly the nomads and communities of the Gobi Desert, began in November 2003 when the first collection of blankets was begun in Cairns. By early 2004, 1200 blankets and bedspreads were collected and shipped to Mongolia.
Between 2004 and 2005, more blankets, mattresses, clothes, toys, televisions, DVD players were delivered.
In 2006, 10 428 pairs of enclosed shoes were sent as part of ”20 000 FEET ABOVE MONGOLIA”.
The 2007-2008 “Blankets 4 Mongolia” campaign collected and sent 10 550 more blankets.
In 2009 MongoliAid International Inc. was born.
In 2010 MongoliAid financed the construction of a water well for the Scout Association of Mongolia at Batsumber. This project has been followed by two further and major water projects at Bayangovi in Bayankhongor province and at Tsogt Tsetsii in the South Gobi province. By Christmas 2011, MongoliAid wells are providing clean and secure drinking water to over 16 000 Mongolians.
In September 2011, MongoliAid delivered 5065 blankets to Gobi communities, reaching all soums across Bayankhongor and the South Gobi.
MongoliAid is currently collecting blankets for our final shipment project. Before the end of 2012, we will have collected and shipped over 30 000 blankets since the idea took hold in November 2003. MongoliAid is partners with Bodio and Monkhtuya and the team from the Gobi Revival Fund NGO – without those two great people, nothing would have happened. Now, all things are possible!
From 2013 onwards, MongoliAid will set up a fund that buys camel wool blankets from Mongolians themselves, thus providing warmth to vulnerable people by means that sustain, promote and strengthen the proud traditions of ages.
Our goal is to make the world a better place, one Mongolia at a time! Be a part of the solution!
Yours Sincerely
Barry Jiggins OAM
President
