Thank you for visiting our fundraising page! The Gobi Manchurians have to raise $2,000 for any of the official Mongol Rally 2010 charities. We've chosen to raise money for Mercy Corps. We will drive a small, fuel efficient (sub 1 litre) car from London, UK to Ulaan Bataar, Mongolia - over 12,000 miles through 15 countres to raise money for Mercy Corps. In addition to the money generated through this portal, the team will also donate their car and rally gear upon completion.
Mercy Corps will use the funds to support rural communities and herd families through a range of projects that help them live an independent and sustainable life. Funds raised from previous rallies have been used to set up schools, establish youth centres and help women find employment opportunities. Donating through this website is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to support our fundraising efforts.
Many thanks for your support -- and don't forget to forward this to anyone who you think might want to donate too!

In Mongolia, life can be extremely tough for rural nomadic people. With the fast pace of today's modern world entire communities are lacking vital skills and income to support their families. Mercy Corps is helping to change this by supporting rural communities and herding families through a range of projects that help them live an independent and sustainable life. After last year's fantastic Rally Mercy Corps is on target to raise £100,000 to support our projects in Mongolia. With your support for the 2010 Mongol Rally our work will continue to help reach out to rural communities and help them lead improved lives. The projects funded by the Mongol Rally are wide ranging, from setting up schools and building children's playgrounds to establishing youth centres and helping women find employment opportunities. Mercy Corps have a full section on their website about the work supported by the Mongol Rally, along with an interview with the Mongolia Country Director Dominic Graham.
