Project Amount (US$):
37,500
Number of Beneficiaries:
9,500
Location of Project:
Mongolia
Project Description:
The project was initiated at a time when Mongolia had no local transmission of COVID-19 cases. RCUB in discussion with the schools administration decided to proceed with the actual installation work before the school semester started (September 1).
With support from the Rotary Foundation and RI District 3670, RC Namweon Central and RC Ulaanbaatar, we were able to install toilet facilities at six schools in remote parts of Ulaanbaatar city.
The project made more sense to the beneficiaries especially at the times of COVID-19 pandemic where the needs for increased capacity of toilets and hand-washing facilities played a critical role in preventing coronavirus spread among school kids and teachers.
Since March 2021, schools are being used as testing and vaccination centres in Ulaanbaatar and across the country. Thus, the newly installed toilets and hand-washing facilities have been used by medical teams during the fight against the pandemic.
In October 2022, we have visited the schools and co-organized Hygiene training for kids in celebration of International Handwashing Day. This day is widely celebrated in Mongolia with support from UN agencies, local authorities and NGOs.
