[1] Teams will be supporting the important work of Ger to Ger in Mongolia. US teams can raise money directly for Ger to Ger through Give2Asia (a US charity). UK and European teams can help by visiting Ger to Ger projects and donating aid [2] items. Ger to Ger’s Country Mission is to contribute to the systematic alleviation of poverty through tourism. Approximately 90% of revenues generated through tourism goes directly towards creating enabling environments for rural social economic development that allows the programme to sustainably work with rural nomadic herder groups, rural communities and other initiatives in supporting activities in healthcare, environmental protection, tourism, etc. Within 30 months of the projects launch, Ger to Ger routes in Arhangai, Bulgan, Dundgovi and Tuv provinces have generated over $200,000USD in economic benefits for rural communities. In addition to economic development, the project is building the local human resources capacity to enable communities to develop and facilitate their own result oriented social economic initiatives in health, education and environmental fields that are in line with the Millennium Development Goals. Ger to Ger's Sustainable Rural Tourism Development Programme Progress Report [3] The establishment of the Ger to Ger National Network will ensure long-term pro-active training of stake holders and financial activity development to deal with relevant rural poverty concerns through developing rural human assets, job markets and micro-enterprises through tourism’s social economic incentives. Ger to Ger currently operates in the following Province of Mongolia: 1. Arhangai Province 2. Bulgan Province 3. Dundgovi Province 4. Uvurkhangai Province 5. Tuv Province Generous financial contributions to the Ger to Ger Fund will allow the initiative to continue expanding its Programme across Mongolia.
