One-third of Mongolia’s population experiences extreme poverty and is unable to afford basic food and shelter. 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 74 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 for area families in need of this fuel for heating their homes.
This project is co-sponsored by BGR’s European sister organization, Mitgefühl in Aktion (MiA).
