A letter from Lila

“Help me help them.”

Hello, my name is Lila (Ariunsetgel Uchral). I am 9 years old and from Mongolia.

Winters in Ulaanbaatar are extremely cold, with temperatures dropping to –30°C (–22°F). Many dogs are kept outdoors, chained, and left without proper dog houses. Every winter, countless dogs suffer and lose their lives because of the cold.

Through our officially registered nonprofit organization, I started the One Dog – One Warm House project to help change this. Our mission is simple: to provide insulated DOG HOUSES that protect dogs from freezing temperatures and help them survive the winter.

Each DOG HOUSE costs $150, and our goal is to build 10,000 warm houses for dogs in need.

Please join us today and help save lives this winter. Thank you for your kindness and support.

Project overview

A direct, life-saving intervention

One Dog – One Warm House is an urgent winter humanitarian project created to protect dogs living outdoors in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia — one of the coldest capital cities in the world.

Our nonprofit organization is officially registered. We build insulated, weatherproof dog houses that give dogs warmth, safety, and dignity during Mongolia's extreme winter — with clear, measurable impact.

❄️ Why this project is urgent

Winters in Ulaanbaatar are severe and unforgiving

  • Nighttime temperatures frequently drop to –30°C (–22°F)
  • Strong winds and frozen ground increase the risk of frostbite and death

In the city's ger (informal) districts, many dogs are:

  • Kept outdoors year-round
  • Chained
  • Left without proper dog houses

Based on research and field-based estimates:

200K+households live in ger districts
~60%of these households own dogs
70–80%of owned dogs spend winter nights outdoors without adequate dog houses

👉 This means approximately 80,000–100,000 dogs face life-threatening cold every winter.

🎯 Our goal & impact

10,000 warm, insulated DOG HOUSES for dogs in need

This project will directly help 10–12.5% of dogs currently spending winter nights outdoors without protection. 10,000 dogs will survive the winter with warmth, safety, and care.

This is not symbolic help — it is a real solution with measurable results.
