In today\\u2019s episode, I am speaking to Uyanga Batzogs who is the Founder and Executive Director of Quality Life from Mongolia.

\\n\\n

Uyanga started the NGO when she discovered a 2015 survey of over 500 elderly citizens in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia revealing the need for senior social and medical care.\\xa0

\\n\\n

Through Proliance LLC (the medical equipment distribution business that she runs), she founded one of Mongolia\\u2019s first senior recreation providers, Quality Life.

\\n\\n

Quality Life Club is a social-based daycare that provides seniors with the opportunity to engage with peers, and their community, and exercise their bodies and minds.\\xa0

Uyanga\\u2019s company Proliance LLC and Quality Life NGO\\u2019s board are passionate about pioneering senior care service in Mongolia. In 2017, they started collaborating to support seniors to have meaningful jobs and share their extensive knowledge and experience with other businesses and community members.

When she was a teenager, Mongolia changed from being a communist country to a democracy. Prior to the change, everyone including Uyanga thought that her life and career were mapped out. She would get good grades and a job would be waiting for her when she got out of school.

\\n\\n

With the change in the country, almost overnight she was left clueless about the next step in her life which was from having a guaranteed job to having nothing!

\\n\\n

This is Uyanga\'s story as a woman entrepreneur and non-profit founder.
