Children's home farm planting-1

CODE: MCE-06

Work:

The main works are planting vegetables such as potatoes, carrots, radishes, etc at the eco-farming camp and organize leisure time activity with kids from Children’s home. Also, volunteers may work on making fences to protect the farm, etc. Quite tiring but let's enjoy it.

Location and leisure

45 km from Ulaanbaatar. Place name is “BUHUUGIIN HURAL”. The sight is just unbelievably beautiful, typical Mongolian plain.

Project hosted by

Since 2000, volunteers from all over the world have participated in summer programs designed to help improve the vegetable farm at the Childcare Center of Mongolia (Children's Home). However, between 2014-2018 they decided to discontinue their farming activities due to a lack of human resources and the unavailability of farming land. In 2017, our organization managed to rent farming land for the Children's Home, and they resumed their farming activities on this new land. As a result, our cooperation with their farm restarted in 2018. One of the main roles of international volunteers will be assisting with the farming work at the Children's Home.

Directions to meeting point

According to the request/arrival information we will provide paid pick up service to all volunteers.
