Mercy Corps Mongolia supports rural communities to meet their economic and social needs, helping individuals, families and communities to become more self-sufficient, diversified in their production, and better linked to local, regional and national markets. Over the past five years Mercy Corps Mongolia has established a strong reputation across the vast Gobi region, and continues to work with business associations and local organisations to ensure a robust economy that preserves ancient traditions.

Currently they run the following projects in Mongolia: Gobi Regional Economic Growth Initiatives (Gobi Initiative), Gobi Forage, Rural Agribusiness Support Program (RASP) and the Training, Advocacy and Networking Programme.

CNCF continues to change the lives of disadvantaged children in Mongolia. Here are a few projects they are currently running:

The Sponsorship Program helps families who are in danger of splitting up or where children may drop out of school due to poverty. The family receives sponsorship for a child as long as he or she is living with them and in full-time education.
The Sunshine Ger Village Project provides a shelter for street children and orphans in Ulan batar. The shelter consists of 11 gers and a kndergarten.
Prison Education Project provides full-time education at the Boys' Prison and teachers work three days a week at the Girls section of the Women's Prison.
Healthcare Project operates a clinic at the charity Hospital five days a week, to provide free health care and medication to the children in the sponsorship program and street children. There is also a mobile night clinic for street children that travels the city's streets, bringing emergency medical treatment, medical advice and small treats to children otherwise abandoned to the ice and snow.
Give a Ger Campaign is an emergency fund established to provide families in danger of becoming homeless, or otherwise inadequately or dangerously accommodated, with a family home of a Mongolian Ger.
