Change

The community of Khan Uul 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 Khan Uul 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 Khan Uul (pronounced Con-ool) community is located 46 kilometres from the centre of Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia's capital city. Khan Uul is the second-largest of eight districts in Ulaanbaatar, as well as one of its poorest areas. Most families here live in cramped quarters in gers, the traditional Mongolian round felt tent. Basic services are in short supply, which means that families face unhygienic and unsanitary conditions.

Many people in this community relocated from rural areas and cannot afford to register in Ulaanbaatar. As a result they are ineligible for social services and benefits. Almost 40% of families in Khan Uul live in extreme poverty, often on as little as $5 a month, creating challenging conditions for children's healthy development.
