In Mongolia, life can be extremely tough for rural nomadic people. With the fast pace of today's modern world entire communities are lacking vital skills and income to support their families. Mercy Corps is helping to change this by supporting rural communities and herding families through a range of projects that help them live an independent and sustainable life.

After last year's fantastic Rally Mercy Corps is on target to raise £100,000 to support our projects in Mongolia. With your support for the 2009 Mongol Rally our work will continue to help reach out to rural communities and help them lead improved lives.
The projects funded by the Mongol Rally are wide ranging, from setting up schools and building children's playgrounds to establishing youth centres and helping women find employment opportunities.
Mercy Corps have a full section on their website about the work supported by the Mongol Rally, along with an interview with the Mongolia Country Director Dominic Graham.
