Thank you for visiting Team YAKsi TAXi's fundraising page! This summer, we will be participating in the Mongol Rally, an amazing car race across a third of the globe, beginning in London and ending in Ulaan Bataar, the capital of Mongolia!! We will be travelling across 10,000 miles, 7 mountain ranges, 3 deserts, and roads ranging from bad to non-existent, all in a one litre-engine car. The Mongol Rally isn't just about adventure, it's also about raising significant amounts of money for charities dedicated to sustainable development. So please support us in raising money for this year's charities, and their wonderful causes! This year's Principle Charity is Mercy Corps Mongolia (Mercy Corps Scotland is the organisation's international head office, and all donations to Mercy Corps Mongolia will be made via this office). These guys run a range of amazing projects across Mongolia, and we aim to collect a minimum of £1000 for this charity. Mercy Corps Mongolia supports rural communities to meet their economic and social needs, helping individuals, families and communities to become more self-sufficient, diversified in their production, and better linked to local, regional and national markets. Over the past five years Mercy Corps Mongolia has established a strong reputation across the vast Gobi region, and continues to work with business associations and local organizations to ensure a robust economy that preserves ancient traditions. Currently they run the following projects in Mongolia: Gobi Regional Economic Growth Initiatives (Gobi Initiative), Gobi Forage, Rural Agribusiness Support Program (RASP) and the Training, Advocacy and Networking Programme. www.mercycorps.org.mn. Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor us: Mercy Corps will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you. So please sponsor our team now! Many thanks for your support, Team YAKsi TAXi
