Give your time
Lantuun Dohio USA is run by volunteers, and every board member gives their time for free. You can help too, wherever you live.
- Help out at special events: the annual gala dinner, the 5K and community days.
- Hand-write thank-you notes to the people who give.
- Translate materials between Mongolian and English, as volunteers did for Arlington County's COVID-19 sessions.
- Run with us, or start a team, at the annual United Against Violence 5K.

Magic Mongolia I
Our first centre: a shelter and free kindergarten, now a community centre for more than 400 children.
Since 2017
- Opened 15 September 2017; building began in April 2017
- A shelter where a child could stay until their case was resolved, not just the 48 hours of the national centre
- Free kindergarten for families who cannot pay, or whose lack of city registration keeps their children out
- Sheltered 453 children from 2018 to 2022 and taught 200 kindergarteners
- Since June 2022 a community centre open to every child nearby, now that the government runs a shelter in the area
- Two eco-friendly buildings that run on solar power in summer, with a playground, basketball court and greenhouse
- Built to be accessible for children with disabilities
Five of our children competed at the 2022 jiu-jitsu World Cup. One came home with silver.
$30 gives one basic kit of essentials for a child: soap, shampoo, sanitary goods, slippers, socks, underwear and towels.
