The Asral NGO was established in 2001 by Tibetan Buddhist monk Ven. Panchen Ötrul Rinpoche to support families affected by poverty and hunger in the poorest sections of Ulanbaatar, Mongolia’s capital city. Asral is Mongolian for “care,” and this project with partner Maitreya Charity provides nutritious lunch meals as well as warm winter outerwear, tutoring, social-emotional learning, school supplies, dental care, health/hygiene instruction, books, toys, and games for 112 students. The grant also provides tuition for a small cohort of kindergarten children who otherwise would not be able to attend school, as well as coal to area families.
This project is co-sponsored by BGR’s European sister organization, Mitgefühl in Aktion (MiA).
