By responding to the spread of coronavirus pandemic Covid-19 throughout the world, the Government of Mongolia placed strict measures to stop transmissions of virus. This year is mainly characterized by delaying and/or freezing of social and overall activities throughout Mongolia. It is believed that in spite of the Covid-19 pandemic restrictions, this year we achieved significant results. We’ve raised fund for the food and hot meals delivery campaigns three times in support of vulnerable households through our field branch of the Tolgoit Community Development Center (TCDC) and the results were reported duly. These food and hot meals delivery campaigns reached households and individuals most in need, many of whom were children.

In time of Covid-19, three humanitarian assistance campaigns were conducted through the TCDC as follows:

• The food supply campaign was organized in April 2020 delivering food packages to 103 family members of 20 disabled children of poor households who are engaged in the TCDC-run informal educational program.
• The hot meals and food supply campaign was organized throughout July and September 2020 reaching 612 people of 96 vulnerable households living in Tolgoit area.
• Food delivery campaign was organized in December, reaching 170 persons of 25 vulnerable households and families with many children.
