Impact evidence

Programs described in its return (3)
- $100,173 spent. 1.The Childrens Place is the first of three primary programs we maintain in Mongolia. Our Childrens Place is a home of healing for orphaned and abandoned children. We have 18 children we currently provide care for in a family atmosphere. They are at risk because of their disrupted or lossed family relationships. We have provided on-going care for children since 2003. We do facilitate family restoration and adoption whenever possible
- $60,000 spent. (2)Reaching the Light Developmental Center - A second program is the Reaching the Light Developmental Center which has taken up the cause of children who have special needs and disabilities. We serve all children with these needs but our target area are families living in remote rural areas in the Mongolian countryside. We train parents, hold educational seminars for healthcare workers, hold screening clinics, and work directly with children providing education and therapy services. Throughout the year we have about 300 to 350 children and health care professionals that we interact with and provide service
- $20,000 spent. (3)Happy Days and Bright FutureFinally, we have two mini-programs that serve vulnerable children in after-school settings. Happy Days and Bright Future work with vulnerable children from difficult family settings and who experience academic challenge and/or failure. Our hope is to see these children through, one-on-one tutoring, improve academically and to find our programs a safe, loving environment which they often lack. We desire to work directly with their parents to educate them and to encourage them regarding the needs of their children. In total, we serve about 35-40 children and their parents monthly.
