Two of the four projects, with a total cost of 66,000 EUR, are the provision of professional assistance and advice to families with children who have Down Syndrome; and, with help from the Mongolian foundation, a rehabilitation center for disabled children here. The third one, in association with “Zorig” Foundation, is granting an oxygen equipment to a hospital in Gobi-Altai Province; while the fourth is supporting the intellectual development of children with disabilities.
