Sustainable Development Goals in Mongolia

While I was studying abroad in Mongolia I had the chance to complete a rapid-fire, three-day externship with a local non-profit called the Ger Community Mapping Center (GCMC). At GCMC I created an infographic highlighting UN Sustainable Development Goals as they pertain to Mongolia’s capital.

The Ger Community Mapping Center is an organization based in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia that works towards positive changemaking in the city’s “ger districts” (the word “ger” means “yurt” in Mongolian). Mongolia’s ger districts, characterized as “slums” by international media and aid organizations, make up more than half of Ulaanbaatar’s area and house more than half the city’s population.
