Mongolian Herder Veterinarian Training

Mongolian Autumn was generally pleasant and kind to animals and herders. However, the cold came earlier with October snowfall of 10 to 15 cm on the ground, and up to 45 cm thick snowfall and storm in November.

Our team traveled around 1800 km on snowy, slippery and icy off roads from one Bag to another and Soum center areas of Khentii and Tuv provinces in November 2022.

In the scope of the Autumn project for herders, we reached out to herder families in their winter pastures, and delivered First Aid Kits and Medicine packages. All the herders were provided with First Aid Kit usage and medicine instruction. 

During our Autumn Medical checkup, we carried endoscopic ultrasound equipment and delivered preliminary checkup alongside with sonography diagnosis to 75 herders. The herders got professional advice on their medical condition and further treatments.

Special thanks to our donors who made our project possible and helped us to reach out to those herders in the remote area with medical service and First Aid Kit and Medicine. 

In addition to donating directly to our projects, GlobalGiving allows our supporters and donors to create their own fundraising pages to invite their networks to support Mongolian Herders and their livestocks. There are many ways you can help us through fundraising such as celebrating your birthdays and running a race. 

Also, please kindly be aware that you can become our monthly donor.  You can do this via GlobalGiving. Recurring donors, even for small donations and support, are especially helpful as these are resources that enable us to continue our work. 

Thanks very much for your support for our projects in Mongolia. 

Your donation helps us continue our efforts to help Mongolian nomadic herders and their livestocks in the wide steppe of Mongolia.
