Strenghtening of local Organisations and Co-operatives

In 2010, Alessandra Confalonieri of the Istituto Oikos stayed at Takhintal and helped to develop alternative sources of income as well as an improvement of the traditional livestock farming. She organised workshops in the fields of „livestock farming“, „felt production“ und „wood carving“.
She also supported the residents of the two towns of Bij and Soyombo to organise a co-operative. This enables them to produce and sell products jointly and to improve the management of the livestock farming. Furthermore Oikos also worked on the development of ecotourism. The organisation donated yurts for tourists to stay overnight.
