Beneficiary Story - Student O. Oyuntugs

O.Oyuntugs is a 10th grade student in a school situated in the Songinokhairkhan district of Ulaanbaatar, one of the poorest quarters of the Mongolian capital. She lives in one of the coldest capital cities in the world, with average temperatures of around -20°C in winter. To defy those adversities, the Mongolian population uses coal to heat the traditional yurts, called gers; unfortunately, this leads to considerable air pollution, and health risks. The GIZ project “Energy Efficient Building Refurbishment in Mongolia” tries to tackle this problem.
