Mongolian Girls' Tech Education Fund (25% revenue donation)
With our products from Mongolia, we love to invest in the education of Mongolia girls. 25% of our product revenue goes to Tech Education Fund, NGO in the US that supports girls education in STEM field. The NGO's mission is to support girls, from economically disadvantaged background, to break into technology field, so that they can have opportunity to improve their lives on their own.
Furthermore, your purchase of the socks will support Mongolian nomadic herders' way of life and their economic activity. Raising livestock, including sheep, goats, cows, yaks, horses, and camels, is the main economic activity of the Mongolian nomadic herders. In today's Mongolia, about 20% of the population still lives as nomadic herders, relying on the livestock's products, moving from one place to another following the animals' grazing throughout the year.
Mongolian nomadic herders are proud of their organic animal products, as the livestocks are raised in living conditions accommodating their natural behaviors (like the ability to graze on pasture), fed 100% organic feed and forage, and not administered antibiotics or hormones. Thus, your purchase will support the organic food and animal by-product production.
In addition, Mongolian herders are one of the most active contributors to sustainable development goals (SDGs). The herders believe that the survival of their livestock and the preservation of the environment are linked to their own survival. They feel they are connected with nature and part of the system in which they live. Your purchase of wool socks will help also preserve their way of life and help reach the global sustainable development goals around the world.
