Ulaanbaatar/MONTSAME/.
Supporting ‘Every child deserves clean water’ project initiated by Mobicom
Corporation--Mongolia’s largest mobile phone operator, the Ministry of

In Mongolia,
there are over 600,000 children attending the general educational schools, of whom
46 percent are studying in the condition without fresh water supply. Unclean
hands and unsafe drinking water are source of infectious diseases. In
addition, inadequate fluid intake or dehydration of children have an adverse
effect on their immune system, slowing physical and brain activity, becoming
inattentive, suffering headache and their activity at schools.
To mitigate
this risk, Mobicom Corporation has launched a project ‘Spread the Love’ and 10 percent of
the earnings from ‘Charge with Love’ cellphone cards will be used to create
conditions so that every child can have fresh water.
