A new kindergarten, which can take 100 children, has been opened in the Manla Soum in Mongolia’s South Gobi (Umnugobi) Province. The construction of the kindergarten has been fully financed by the Gobi Oyu Development Support Fund (DSF), sponsored by Oyu Tolgoi LLC. This is the fifth kindergarten building financed by the foundation.

The foundation has invested MNT 1.5 billion for the construction of the kindergarten and MNT 165 million for furniture, toys and other types of equipment.

In 2015, the Oyu Tolgoi LLC established a cooperation agreement with its partner communities – composed of South Gobi province aimed at working together towards sustainable development in important areas such as water, environment, pastureland management, cultural heritage, tourism, local business development and procurement. Under the agreement, Oyu Tolgoi makes a contribution of USD 5 million every year to the foundation, established in 2015.
