GREETINGS
GREETINGS FROM THE CHAIRPERSON OF THE FUND
Sh.Tsevelmaa, The First Lady of Mongolia, Chairperson of the Mongolian Women's Fund
	Mongolian women's development is inseparably related with social development. Difficulties and problems of the recent years of transition to a market economy have had considerable negative impacts on livelihoods of women, especially of those in hard living conditions. However, I do believe that initiatives and co-operation of women's organizations and groups will lead to positive and successful outcomes. I have started working as the Chairperson of the Mongolian Women's Fund from 2004. I like very much the fact that the work of the Mongolian Women's Fund was encouraging and motivating women.
Therefore, I have made an irrevocable decision to contribute to the best of my abilities in this work for the good of the society and I am happy to work shoulder to shoulder with hundreds of my foreign and Mongolian friends. We believe that you will support our work and co-operate with us.
DIRECTOR'S GREETINGS
N.Chinchuluun, Director and Founder
	Mongolian Women's Fund has been the third year of its development. Our goals and programmes have been expanding each year. First of all, I would like to extend my sincere gratitude on behalf of my colleagues to D.Purevsuren, the first Executive Director, who played a major role in this work. In 2003, MWF's work was focused on many important issues including activities against sexual harassment in the workplace and measures aimed at improving the business skills of women and introducing new technologies in production of milk products and manufacturing handicrafts using traditional methods. Moreover, we started wor king in new fields such as increasing the household income of disabled children, out-of-work mothers, ensuring reproductive rights of women who work outside in all four seasons of the year and contributing to reduction of environmental pollution. The priority objectives of all MWF members for the year 2004 will be to increase the number of donors and grantees and to spread philanthropic views in the society. Finally, I would like to thank sincerely all our donors, the Governing Board, Executive staff and volunteers.
