Khovsgol Dairy Project (KDP) is paying for the education of two young girls, Nyamdelger and Enkhtuya, from Khatgal soum/village as Dairy Technologists at MUST, Mongolian University of Science and Technology, School of Food Industrial technology.

The tuition fee is 1.987.500 MNT and dormitory cost is 550.000 MNT per student per year. KDP also pay 100.000 MNT per month for the food and book expenses.

Intensive English classes approx. 500 US$ per student per year. Making a total of approx. 5.000 US$ for 2 students per year.

Nyamdelger, Enkhtuya and Khovsgol Dairy Project will be grateful for any amount.
Thank you to Danish Mongolian society for donating 20.000 DKK to the dairy education and to ecoLeap covering one of the girls entire education.
KDP has chosen to use resources to sponsor the education of dairy technicians from the local community, for the future Khovsgol dairy facility, for several reasons. KDP feasibility report from 2015 shows that there is few educated dairy technicians in Mongolia, and it could be difficult to attract qualified staff for the Khovsgol dairy facility, especially since initially the facility will only be in operation during the summer months. KDP estimates that dairy technicians from the Khatgal community will have greater incentive to return to their hometown after graduation, even if there may not be full employment from the start. KDP also believes that they will have a greater commitment to the dairy cooperative, as they will have participated in the project from the start and have family members in the cooperative. As members of the local community the dairy technicians will be able to better convey the modern dairy operation and development to the cooperative members, as well as being better placed to deal with conflict resolution between the dairy facility and milk suppliers.
There is more pictures and information under the introductions of Enkhtuya and Nyamdelger.
This is a small video introducing Enkhtuya
Enkhtuya Khukhhuu, 19 years old.
She just completed her 12. Grade.
Parents have divorced 5 years ago; Enkhtuya lives with her mother and two younger siblings. Enkhtuya have a mentally ill brother, who lives with her father and had two other siblings that have passed away.
The family is a resident of Khatgal soum/village. Her mother is unemployed and works temporarily in summer season. They have no livestock as they had to eat their animals to survive. Enkhtuya work in a cafe on summer vacation earning 250.000 MNT (120$/795 DDK) monthly.
The family receives 20$ a month as a children’s fee for Enkhtuya´s two smaller brothers and that is the only income in the family besides Enkhtuyas salary from the café.
Enkhtuya is a very good student with excellent grades. She won a gold medal in a physics competition in Mörön, the Khovsgol province capital.
She got a scholarship of 500.000 MNT from Khaan Bank for her achievements of being a excellent student.

KDP is paying for her education as a Dairy Technologist at MUST, Mongolian University of Science and Technology.

We hope we will be able to invite Nyamdelger to Denmark to do additional Dairy courses in a Dairy school as she have expressed a deep wish to have the opportunity to go abroad to study.
