Mongolia. Founded in 2001 by Ven. Panchen Otrul Rimpoche, the
NGO aims to prevent the disintegration of families, by providing
direct support and assistance necessary to overcome poverty. It
the Asral’s guiding belief that one of the best ways to
avoid poverty is to ensure that children remain with their families. To
this end, projects:
- Alleviate some of the responsibilities of childcare to enable
parents to seek sustainable work
- Help women heads of families and others towards self-sufficiency
through gaining trained skills
- Support families with direct assistance and outreach in the
areas of health, food security, housing & heating,
and clothing
Asral’s projects focus on six main areas:
food security, self-sufficiency through handicrafts, health,
education, outreach and sponsorship. The projects are carried
out in Ulaanbaatar, the capital city, in Gachuurt, 20km from
Ulaanbaatar and in Ondershil in the Gobi region. Occasional support
is also provided at other localities in Mongolia.

The ASRAL-foundation is a Buddhist non-profit organization. The volunteers working for ASRAL organize homework classes and provide daily meals for the youth that live in the slopes of Ulaanbaatar. They also taught more than a hundred women to sew, thus giving them a chance to provide a living for their families. Some of these women are now working in saloons. Others are stayed under the wings of ASRAL. These women have made this product. Shop Mongolia emphasizes that they receive a fair price for their labor. Any profit that the ASRAL foundation makes is put back in one of their projects.
