Magic Mongolia: A Shelter for Children

Asia Insight – Season 10

In settlements on the outskirts of Mongolia's capital Ulaanbaatar, some 800,000 people - many day laborers from rural Mongolia and former nomads - live permanently in traditional ger tents. Most live in poverty, and crime and violence are an everyday affair. Cases of child neglect and abuse are common. NGO "Clang of the Hammer" aims to help such children, running shelter "Magic Mongolia" where counsellors and social workers care for children around the clock. Meet the NGO's leader and his dedicated team.
