What we can do to secure a safe environment for the children in Mongolia
As we live in this internet age, we are really blessed to be able to retriever and share information quickly across borders. It is true that our project has certainly benefited from access to various media through the web. However, sometimes because the information spreads so rapidly, we end up violating human rights are violated without noticing. With this in mind, we decided to amend our operational policies as follows:
-
We strictly forbid download and sharing of TV documentary on ‘manhole children’ aired in Japan
The producer of the program ‘Manhole Children - 20 years after’ has arranged that it’s program will not be accessible from within Mongolia. This was to protect the privacy of the persons contained in the documentary. We have already seen the downloaded versions of this program on various SNS platforms without consent and is causing many problems. Please do understand that by sharing these documents, we are putting the lives of the children in our home at risk.
2. We will not share any personal information
In order to protect the privacy and the safety of children in our home, we will not share any information regarding the children who are accommodated at our home and any information regarding our supporters.
3. We will not mediate or arrange meetings and financial transactions
All of our support activities are conducted through the local management organization. Please do not try to send support directly to any individual connected to this project.
Thank you so much for your understanding to our policies.
The team at Mongol Kids' Home

Regarding illegal distribution of the recent documentary program on Mongol Kids Home.
Thank you so much for your messages regarding the recent airing of documentary on Manhole Children in Japan. The producing company of this program notified us that in order to prevent the viewing within Mongolia, NHK is not airing this outside of Japan. This is to protect Boldo and Dasha and their family and children from being victimized in anyway. However, we have seen the whole program being shared on social media including Facebook and Youtube, and the program can be viewed within Mongolia already. The producing company filed a complaint to NHK and requested them to remove these videos being shared on SNS.
We, the Mongol Kids’ Home, would like to pay a special respect to the producing company of this documentary and do our best to protect the children in Mongolia by protecting the copy rights of this program.
I ask for your cooperation in this regard.
From the staff members of Mongol Kids’ Home.
