The Mongol Rally Principle Charity

Mercy Corps Mongolia

Mercy Corps Mongolia supports rural communities to meet their economic and social needs, helping individuals, families and communities to become more self-sufficient, 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 organizations to ensure a robust economy that preserves ancient traditions.

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

Mercy Corps alleviates suffering, poverty and oppression by helping people build secure, productive and just communities. Since 1979, Mercy Corps has provided more than £500 million in assistance to people in 81 nations. The organisation's 2,100 staff worldwide currently reach 7 million people in more than 35 countries. Mercy Corps allocates more than 92 percent of its resources to programs that assist people in need.

Hope and Homes for Children

Mongol Rally Official Charity

Hope and Homes for Children work in countries including Romania, Ukraine, Kosovo, Belarus and Moldova/Transdnistria, focusing on closing down the state institutions and removing children from the terrible conditions in these centres.

Other projects include the first Mother and Baby Unit in Ukraine, Residential Family homes in Kosovo, and the Rehabilitation and Resource Centre in Transdnistria, which provides a short-term alternative to institutional care whilst the child's long-term needs are assessed.

Hope and Homes for Children have also produced a Best Practice Manual which will be published by UNICEF in order to guide other regions on how to implement de-institutionalisation.

Hope and Homes for Children also works in conjunction with overseas partners in Africa to provide a family and a future for orphaned or abandoned children. We reunite child refugees with relatives after war or conflict, support desperate mothers who may otherwise abandon their babies and provide a vital lifeline for families of AIDS orphans headed by frail grandparents or children.

A few questions for you to consider:

- Would you like to make a real difference in someone's life?
- Can you spare 1/2 an hour of your time three times a year?
- Do you like tea and biscuits?

If you've answered yes to any of these then congratulations you're an ideal candidate to become a blood donor, if you've never considered donating before here's a few facts.
- The NBS collected over 2 million units of blood last year from around 1.3 million blood donors
- 8,000 units of blood are needed every day to help save and improve the lives of sick and injured patients
- A unit of blood is measured as 470mls (or just under a pint )
- Only 5% of the eligible population are active blood donors
- Last year patients received over 3 million units of blood and blood products.

Giving blood is quick, easy and despite what you may have heard to the contrary painless, with local sessions held throughout the country. So go on do something amazing today save a life, give blood
