CNCF and the Mongol Rally

The teams taking part in the Mongol Rally 2009 raise a minimum of £1000 per team for Official Charities. CNCF Mongolia is one of these Official Charities and collectively the goal is to fund the annual running costs of the Blue Skies Ger Village in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. We have also recently introduced the Sponsorship Project, encouraging teams and their supporters to sponsor a child in Mongolia.

CNCF Mongolia Background

Christina Noble travelled to Mongolia in April 1997 and pledged to raise money internationally and return to help the plight of street children and children in poor families in this country. Christina designed projects around the specific Mongolian conditions and culture, while also building on her experience in Vietnam. Initial research discovered a complex street children problem, with children organised into gangs and surviving on petty crime, along with an alarming increase in children dropping out of school throughout the country.

The greatest challenge that the Foundation identified was to reach into families and try to help them escape this cycle of poverty by helping to keep the children in school and at home. It was from this need that the Sponsorship Project was born.
