A neonatal resuscitation conference was organized by Millennium’s partner in Mongolia to address the urgent need for training of delivery room medical teams. Many who attended have asked for the training in their home province and replication of the training has already begun in some hospitals.

“I can’t reach everyone myself, but if they can take what they learned and teach it in their hospital, it will spread quickly.” We celebrate the success of this first conference!

Nozigul is a mother of four in Tajikistan. In 2018, she began receiving loans from Furuz Microcredit Deposit Organization to start a cotton farming business. With these loans, she is able to purchase seeds, fertilizers, rent a tractor, and hire seasonal workers for harvesting. All members of her family help Nozigul in her work. Furuz has provided over 65,000 loans to 25,000 Tajiks, moving many out of poverty to form a new middle class. 

Have you ever wondered how aid gets to a disaster? Roads are often damaged or missing! An effective response depends on the transport of critical supplies and workers to a disaster location, and that makes reliable vehicles very important. Help a Millennium partner in Morocco purchase a truck for shelter building projects that continue, post-earthquake.

More than one year has passed since the 2023 Turkey-Syria earthquakes and many families are still living in temporary shelters. People in need of special diets may not be able to safely eat the food that is distributed. Our partner in Turkey, Ilk Umut Dernegi, has opened two container kitchens to provide meals to those with medical conditions like celiac disease, and others requiring special diets.

The purchasing of donkeys has begun!

Months after the devastating earthquake, survivors in these mountain villages are doing the slow work of rebuilding. Many families have suffered greatly, losing loved ones, their homes, and their livelihoods. Millennium Partners have started a project to replace lost animals that were crucial to a family’s transportation or business.
