How we help…

For 10 years, FIRE and SunTime Yurts have shared not only a love of traditional Mongolian gers (yurts) but have also sold gers made by the same high quality custom builder in Ulaanbaatar. To further strengthen SunTime’s commitment to give back to the Mongolian community, we are excited to join forces with FIRE in support of their public health programs in Mongolia. Our partnership will allow us to provide even better service and product to our customers! Stay tuned over the next few months as we continue to update and upgrade.

Mission

The Snow Leopard Trust aims to better understand the endangered snow leopard, and to protect the cat in partnership with the communities that share its habitat.

How we help…

One of our favorite things is to set our yurts up on display at festivals, shows, and fairs. On display inside the yurt are handicrafts for sale made from the Mongolian, Kazakh, and Pakistan countryside. These crafts are brought in by Snow Leopard Enterprises. This extra income for the people of the countryside expands their market access and encourages them to protect the snow leopard and its habitat.
