In 2003 spiritual director Zasep
Rinpoche visited Mongolia on a fact-finding mission to determine if Gaden Relief should help the reflowering of Buddhism since the end of the socialist era in Mongolia. Rinpoche was accompanied by future Mongolia project coordinator, Matthew Richards. They came back inspired and excited to recommend that Gaden Relief should wholeheartedly help the Mongolians. Gaden Relief launched its
"Mongolia Project" later that year. The Mongolia Project set out to help Mongolia's ordained and lay communities, whether this be improving infrastructure, rebuilding monasteries or supporting Buddhist cultural programs.

Current Projects
Past Project
Our first Mongolian project was the Amarbayasgalant Monastery. We built a new potable
water system because Amarbayasgalant's old well was destroyed years ago by the Soviets during the socialist era.
