Mongol Rally: 
People and Projects

Country: Mongolia

Mercy Corps supports rural Mongolian communities and herding families with economic, agricultural and civil society programs.

Q&A with Mercy Corps' County Director for Mongolia ›

Dominic Graham is Mercy Corps Country Director. Here he answers some questions about life and work in Mongolia, and how the Mongol Rally can help with our work there.

Supporting Projects in Mongolia ›

In Mongolia, Mercy Corps supports rural communities and herding families through economic, educational and agricultural programs. Over the past six years Mercy Corps has established a strong reputation across the vast Gobi region, and continues to work to ensure a robust economy that preserves ancient traditions.

A Man on a Gardening Mission ›

Damba Chuluun from Mandalgobi has been named a "social entrepreneur" by his community. The honour of this title was given to him because, over the last four years, Damba has combined his ambition and his gardening skills to improve the lives of his community.

Job Skills in Mongolia ›

In the Khentii province of Mongolia unemployment is rife, but thanks to funding from the Mongol Rally the problem is being addressed in the community of Batnorov.
