Mongolia is an Asian country that borders Russia and China and is home to just over 3 million people. It is often referred to as the “Land of Eternally Blue Sky” because it has, on average, 250 sunny days each year.

Many of our students have never been in a classroom because they have only known war for their entire lives. Our teachers are uniquely positioned to show deep and lasting love to their students by empowering them for a bright future.
