Postage stamp dedicated to the 30th anniversary of Save the Children in Mongolia
Save the Children is an internationally renowned independent organization, established in 1919, dedicated to advocating children’s well-being. It operates independently of religious and political influences. Throughout its history, Save the Children has been committed to protecting children and promoting their rights, especially during times of socio-political changes and emergencies, as well as supporting long-term development policies.
Save the Children began its operations in Mongolia in 1994, and over the past 30 years, it has implemented numerous projects and programs focused on child protection, child rights governance, education, child poverty, healthcare, and emergency humanitarian assistance. Our work prioritizes creating long-lasting, sustainable, and positive changes in children’s lives, while striving to find practical and systematic solutions to pressing issues.
The postage stamp titled “The 30th Anniversary of Save the Children in Mongolia” depicts the inclusivity of education by illustrating children with special needs gaining access to education. It also showcases children demonstrating care for the environment by planting trees and showing love for animals, representing the future generation as happy and compassionate individuals.
Unveiling of the Postage Stamp – “Save the Children in Mongolia – 30 Years”
Good afternoon, everyone.
I’d like to begin by expressing my heartfelt gratitude to all of you for joining us today. It’s an honor to welcome our distinguished guests, government officials, partners, and both former and current Save the Children staff, as we unveil a commemorative postage stamp to celebrate Save the Children’s 30th anniversary in Mongolia. This special stamp, created in collaboration with Mongol Post, symbolizes our shared journey and commitment to children and families across Mongolia.
Earlier this year, as Bayan, our country manager, and I discussed how best to mark this significant milestone, we envisioned something special and meaningful—something that would capture the essence of our presence and achievements in Mongolia.
I remembered seeing original postage stamps displayed at the Central Post Office in Ulaanbaatar many years ago, so I suggested to Bayan, about the possibility of creating our own unique postage stamp to celebrate this milestone.
So, we reached out to Mongol Post and explored the possibility of creating our own unique stamp; and after a series of consultations, Mongol Post kindly agreed to partner with us on this project. Together, we began the design process, during which our team met with the Mongol Post’s talented designers. We shared our mission and achievements and provided them with materials like our annual reports and brochures.
We collaborated closely with Mongol Post colleagues, shared our ideas and discussed the themes we hoped the stamp would capture. Our vision was to create a stamp that incorporated our logo along with images that would reflect our key program work—whether in education, health, child protection, youth empowerment, or climate change and disaster risk reduction efforts in Mongolia.
Through this design, we also wanted to convey our shared values of diversity, inclusion, hope, and renewal, along with our commitment to creating a brighter future for Mongolia’s children.
Today, we are incredibly proud of the final design and grateful for the opportunity to share it with all of you at this unveiling ceremony. This commemorative stamp not only celebrates our 30-year journey but also serves as a reminder of the enduring partnership between Save the Children and the people of Mongolia.
I would like to extend my deepest appreciation to Mongol Post for their partnership and support in bringing this vision to life. Together, we have created something truly special that honors our past achievements and present efforts, while inspiring future generations in Mongolia.
Thank you.
