Poverty in Mongolia

I kind of have given up on contacting a early childhood professional. But the show must go on!! I visited the Childhood Poverty Research and Policy Centre's page and found the information on Mongolia to be interesting. Mongolia doesn't have service as some countries to to help them come out of poverty. A particular concern is that the state is failing to support many of those children and their families who are suffering most. Some children never enter school, others drop out of classes, the numbers of street children and families in urban areas increased during the 1990s; although numbers of street children are now falling, many factors related to poverty still push new children onto the streets. Access to health care to  people who are poor and in remote rural areas are bad and even though its there it is not a great service. This country doesn't seem to care about the well being of their poor and homeless population and if there were more available resources then the Mongolian people may be able to receive some sort of help.

GLOBAL FUND FOR CHILDREN and NHSA

I chose this organization because it doesn't just focus on one country or one child but it benefits every child everywhere. The GFC works to advance the dignity of children worldwide. They pursue this mission by making small grants to innovative community-based organizations working with many of the world’s most vulnerable children, and by harnessing the power of children’s books, films, and documentary photography to promote global understanding.

I sent an e-mail on Thursday and I still have not recieved and reply. They also have a contact number which I called but I never spoke to anyone.


I also chose the National Head Start Association because I grew up in a head start program so I am trying to further educate myself on some of the things they focus on and to see if anything has changed since I was enrolled.

There mission:
