Economic Development: Mongolia

FIRE has always sold fair-trade locally made products from the communities where we work. We know the people, their stories and their families. FIRE has been working with some of the same artists and women coops in the  Bayan-Olgii, Western Mongolia since 2004. All of our Kazakh handi-crafts and Mongolian gers are bought directly from the people who make them. Sell products bought directly from those who made them, without middlemen ensures the maximum support goes to FIRE and helps builds the economy of the communities where we work.

Basic Aid and Elder Care: Nepal (Recently Closed)

Caring for and supporting the most vulnerable members of a community helps to improve and raise up the entire community. Since the earthquake in Nepal in 2015, FIRE has distributed 3,000 pounds of food and winter clothing to as many 13 elders in the village of Kyanjin Gompa in Langtang, Nepal. More than 18 months after the earthquake, these village elders were still living in temporary shelters made out of tin or in caves, at 13,000 feet. Most of them had no surviving family members to help them.
