Meet The Team

WE Mongolia is a 100% volunteer-run and women-led nonprofit organization based in the United States. Our team is composed of women and girls who live in 3 different States in the United States and in the capital city of Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia.

We believe that the investing in the empowerment of women and girls can lead to a better society. Previously, we were individually engaging in local community issues for many years. Our passion about charity and women’s development got us closer regardless of geographic distance. In 2019, we embarked on this exciting journey together to maximize our impacts. We are genuinely grateful for having dedicated volunteers and interns who are indispensable part of our team. We would not be where we are today without them all!
