JCS International
Who is JCS?
JCS is a group of international community-focused agencies teaming up as one INGO to assist Mongolia and all its people. It focuses on holistic needs, physical, spiritual, and intellectual.
The staff, sourced from over 15 nations and 12 agencies, utilizes professional skills in areas such as agriculture, health, education, administration, business, English teaching, youth work, and relief projects, with a collective aim of enhancing the well-being of the Mongolian community.
JCS in Khovd Aimag
JCS has been active in Khovd Aimag (province) for fifteen years, handling projects such as leading a well-digging project, assisting in developing greenhouses in the local community, and starting small business enterprises in leatherwork, and knife making.
They currently run a Child Development Center in a ger (yurt) district where the majority of the Kazakhs live. Kazakhs make up 5% of Khovd's overall population. The Child Development Center offers a free catch-up club for Kazakh children attending Mongolian schools, ensuring those not fluent in Mongolian get extra support.
Plus, they serve up a complimentary lunch during each morning session.
Our Team
The JCS team in Khovd is a diverse and dedicated group of individuals, each bringing a unique background and perspective to our collective efforts. Jesse, arriving from the United Kingdom, and his wife Ági, originally from Hungary, made the decision to relocate to Mongolia in 2022. Their international experiences contribute to the rich tapestry of the team.
Alimaan has been an integral part of the JCS family for many years, providing invaluable continuity and expertise. Our shared mission revolves around the well-being of the children we serve, and the teaching staff consistently goes above and beyond to support those in greatest need. It's heartening to witness the collaborative spirit within the team as they work together for the betterment of the community's children.
