The project is aimed protecting victims and potential victims of child abuse by raising awareness in the general public.

We hope to shape the public opinion and help eradicate future cases of child abuse in Mongolia.
In order to raise the financial support for the implementation of the project “Milky Way”, Rotaract Club of Nairamdal has worked closely with iLoft function House and various social media sites during the celebration of Halloween on October 31st, 2013 by jointly organizing a “PUMPKIN PA RTY”.
