*Over the past 18 years the Lotus Children’s Center has worked to aid street kids and abandoned babies in Ulan Bator, Mongolia. In the beginning the center worked to give food and basic medical supplies. As the years passed the center started to take in abandoned babies (at the request of Mongolian authorities), and even started a kindergarten. The Lotus Children’s Center aims to give primary care to all of their children. This care includes food, healthcare, clothing and accommodations. The children are given developmental care, a quality education, counseling, building tools and access to life skills.
