Zuun Mood Felt Cooperative

Today I visited a felt cooperative in the aimag centre of Tuv aimag - 45km south of Ulaanbaatar.

The cooperative has seven members including two with disabilities. With the grant they received from Mongol Derby funding they put in a ramp to their workshop as well as getting heating in their workshop and getting some equipment and raw materials.

While there I learned that they provide items to a well known souvenir shop - the only fair-trade place in town, run by a Christian group, called Mary and Martha.
