The Book Ger project was setup by Go Help in partnership with Mongolian Education Alliance. The Book Ger is a new concept and the first trial ger is now established and running in Ulaanbaator.

The book ger team and students

The Book Ger provides a comfortable reading and community environment for the children and young people in the outlying districts of Ulaanbaatar. It is stocked with children’s books, magazines and games, as well as running activity, homework and reading sessions. The purpose of the Book Ger is to provide children with space to do reading in their spare time and in doing so encourage their interest in books and improve their literacy skills, and in the long term reduce school dropout rates in the ger district community. The local children initiate other activities such as taking books to children who have physical impairments, who cannot come to the Book Ger themselves.
