 Налайх дүүргийн 119 дүгээр сургуульд өглөөний завсарлагын хонх дуугарч, анги танхимын хаалгууд нээгдэж, хүүхдүүд яаран гарч ирлээ. Тэдний эхний зогсоол бол сэтгэл сэргээм хүйтэн, цэвэр ус бүхий сургуульд нь байрлуулсан цэвэр ус шүүгч байлаа. Арван долоон настай Бат-Ирээдүй хүү ангиасаа холгүй байрлуулсан ус шүүгчээс авсан усыг хэсэг залгилаад "Би азтай шүү, манай ангийн хажууд усны шүүгч байдаг” хэмээн инээд алдлаа. Хүссэн үедээ сайхан цэвэр ус уух нь зарим хүнд ихэд биелэмгүй зүйл хэдий ч эдгээр сурагчдад бол тийм биш ажээ.

A delicious smell runs through the house as lunch is ready. “Today I made bantan. Bantan is a Mongolian flour soup. It is very simple, made only from two ingredients, flour and meat. When it gets cooler, I’ll add micronutrient supplements to make it more nutritious” says 27-year old Juldiz. When she served her three children lunch, they ate quickly to see who finishes first. “I am happy when they eat well. Because it means that they will grow healthy” Juldiz smiles.

When the bell rings for morning break in 119th school, Nalaikh, classroom doors fly open and the children rush out. First stop, a reviving drink of cool, clean water from one of the school’s water filters. Seventeen-year-old Bat-Ireedui doesn’t have to go very far. “I’m lucky”, he grins, taking a gulp of water. “My classroom is right next to the water filter!” Drinking clean water whenever you want to may be something that many children take for granted – but not these students.

Faces of UNICEF: Batnasan Nyamsuren, Water, Sanitation & Hygiene officer at UNICEF Mongolia



Tell us a bit about your background?

I was born in Jargalant village of Arkhangai province in Mongolia. I studied hydrology at Odessa State Hydro-meteorological University in Ukraine. Before joining UNICEF, I have worked at Mongolian Academy of Science, World Wildlife Fund for Nature and UN Development Programme as researcher and program manager.  My area of expertise is Integrated River Basin Management and it has been very applicable to UNICEF’s work on improving access to and quality of water. For example, we recently supported adoption of “Water Safety Plan” in our program areas to help ensure water is safe for children to drink. This also involved development of guidelines on water, sanitation and hygiene  as well.

Өсвөр үеийнхэнд сэтгэцийн эрүүл мэндийн үйлчилгээ хэрэгтэй

Баярмаа* 15 настай бөгөөд Монголын хөдөөд өсвөр насны охин байхын хэцүү бэрхийг өөрөө даван туулж яваа нэгэн юм. Тэр олон найз нөхөдтэй, хичээл сургуульдаа сайн хэдий ч гэр бүлийн хүчирхийлэл, хөвгүүдийн зүгээс гарч буй хүсээгүй бэлгийн дарамт болон бусад найз нөхөд, үе тэнгийнхний дарамт шахалттай маш их тулгардаг байна.

Үндэстний цөөнх Тува хүүхдийн боловсролыг дэмжих нь

Эх хэл дээрээ шүлэг уншиж буй Тува охин
@НҮБ-ын Хүүхдийн сан/2014/ Х.Гансүх




Найман настай Болормаа алслагдсан хязгаар нутаг болох Баян-Өлгий аймгийн Цэнгэл сумын бага сургуулийн 3-р ангид суралцдаг Тува охин юм.

Улаанбаатар хотоос бараг 1800 км-ийн зайд үзэсгэлэнт мөнх цаст Алтайн нурууны хормойд орших Цэнгэл сум бол 1600 орчим Тувачуудын нутаг билээ. Баян-Өлгий аймгийн олонх иргэд нь үндэстний цөөнх болох казахчууд тул эдгээр хүмүүсийг "цөөнхийн дундах цөөнх" хэмээн нэрлэдэг. Цэнгэл сумын нийт хүн амын дөнгөж 20 хувь нь Тува бөгөөд үлдэх хүмүүс нь казахчууд билээ.
