Than you so much for the wonderful support for our matching contribution.

We have received donations of $4,250 towards our $10,000 Donation Match that ends September 30th.

If we can get to $10,000 by the end of September, that will mean a total of $20,000 to FIRE in support of our award winning medical work in Mongolia, and upcoming medical work in Nepal.

Thank you for your support!

You can donate towards this goal directly on our website. Or, mail us a check the old fashioned way. Either works!

Every July 28, since 2011, when World Hepatitis Day began, FIRE has worked with the Mongolian Ministry of Health and World Organization office in Mongolia to spread hepatitis awareness in Mongolia. 

This year, the World Hepatitis Alliance selected Mongolia as the "showcase" country for World Hepatitis Day activities. The high profile day was commemorated with a theme of "Test, Treat, Hepatitis." Celebrations took place in the main Square of Ulaanbaatar with a large hepatitis screening event, international speakers, information booths, dancing and so much more.

FIRE also helped organize a Roundtable discussion with dozens of global leaders in the fight to eliminate hepatitis to share and exchange ideas and lessons learned.

Strategic partnerships are a key aspect of keeping FIRE's  overhead low and maximizing efficiency and impact. One of our largest partners is Rotary International. 

FIRE has been honored to work closely with Rotary Clubs and RotarAct Clubs since 2004. Rotary volunteers helped with every aspect of our winter clothing distribution trips through 2009 including translation, transportation, filming, building computers, and so much more.

In 2015, with the Ulaanbaatar Rotary Club, we started "Healthy Smiles," an oral health project for kindergartners.

In the fall of 2017, FIRE worked with the Rotary Club of Ulaanbaatar, Flagstaff Rotary Club and 35 different Rotary Clubs and Districts from around the world to implement "Hepatitis Free Mongolia," a Rotary funded Global Grant totalling $112,000. This project will be repeated in in Spring 2019 under a 2nd Global Grant from the Rotary Foundation.

Rotary International has been leading the global fight to eliminate Polio for decades. Their support, as FIRE fights to eliminate hepatitis in Mongolia, has been invaluable.
