PROJECTS IN MONGOLIA:
Together with Link Hands for Humanity we support different medical projects in the Khövsgöl province
as well as we provide assistance to the Tsataan raindeer people in the east and west taiga in the region of Tsagaannur.
GYNECOLOGY DEPARTEMENT- MÖRÖN HOSPITAL 2018
We intend to raise the necessary funds in order to help the hospital substitute the delivery tables, buy incubators and newborn oxygen machines as well as prepare the facilities for the lodging of the mothers of premature babies.
POST PARTUM CLINIC - TSAGAANNUUR 2017
We have built a clinic to welcome, nurse and teach the mothers who come from remote areas of the taiga.
RAINDEER PEOPLE - TSAGAANNUUR 2015-18
Since 2015, Link Hands has been focused upon the survival and well being of the Tsataan people, an ancient nomadic tribe, whose life is centered on their reindeer herd. We have provided spring and fall vaccines for 1,700 reindeer. We brought in portable winter fencing, so the reindeer are better protected from attacking wolves. Also due to the low population of the herd and restrictions on their native hunting grounds, the Tsataan have lived at near starvation levels in the winter, so we have augmented their food stores.
Finally, we are working with the people on an ecological program to reduce and eliminate pollution from the garbage brought by tourists.
The thrust of the work in the Tsaagan Nuur has been to provide access to medical treatment for poor children. We are also working on funding a project to bring a special ed teacher to educate deaf and dumb students.
