Mongolia

We have been operating in Mongolia since 2006. Our primary focus is environmental work, especially waste management, and actively supporting young people. However, we have also provided humanitarian aid to pastoralists affected by the harsh winter or helped in the fields of education, social services or health.

During 2025, our projects in Mongolia will be completed and the local branch will be closed.

Sustainable development

Waste treatment, especially plastics, is one of the significant problems facing Mongolia today. In 2020, we successfully completed a project that focused on recycling and recovering construction waste. We are currently working to promote plastic waste treatment, which floods Mongolia. Its illegal disposal is widespread not only among households but also companies.

Supporting youth and civil society

Together with our partner organisations, we are committed to developing Mongolian youth and civil society. In the framework of the project "All for YOUth, YOUth for all", we not only support the development of volunteering among young people but also help them with personal development and advise them on how to plan and build a career.

Women play an essential role in humanitarian aid. Why are they so important?

What is it like to be a woman affected by war or natural disaster? What do women and girls need in such situations? This is often better understood by other women, humanitarian aid workers. Up to 40 per cent of the more than half a million aid workers worldwide are women. Our colleagues, women humanitarian and development aid workers, explain why they think it is important for women to be involved in this field.

Best of 2022 in Caritas Czech Republic

It sounds like a cliché, but 2022 really was a year like no other. At Caritas Czech Republic, we were fully immersed in helping people affected by the war in Ukraine. We immediately sent humanitarian aid to the country, and we also supported refugees from Ukraine in Moldova and in the Czech Republic. Our help did not stop there. We supported farmers in Zambia to withstand climate change, helped people in Iraq rebuild their livelihoods, and much more. Take a look at our biggest achievements of 2022.

Switching On the Green Economy

Due to the food and beverage sector’s heavy environmental impact, adopting resource-efficient practices from Farm to Fork Strategy, in line with the European Union’s Green Deal, is key to success in Mongolia’s quest to transition to a low-carbon circular economy and accelerate poverty reduction. Therefore, the “Switching On the Green Economy” project is being implemented.
