Mongolia

In March 2000, AmeriCares responded to the Government of Mongolia's appeal for international assistance in response to a brutal winter that killed more than 800,000 livestock and left a large portion of the population in need of food, clothing and medicines. 

Since that time, AmeriCares has also provided on-going assistance to our partners, Fraternité Notre Dame.  Fraternité Notre Dame operates a soup kitchen, shelter, and orphanage for poor, homeless, and abandoned individuals from Ulan Bator as well as the Hospital of Charity.  This hospital is the only hospital in the country that provides treatment and medication totally free of charge.  The Hospital of Charity has 62 beds for inpatient care and serves approximately 25,000 outpatients per year.
