History
In 1998, Corry Vreugdenhil went to Mongolia for the first time to volunteer for various organizations. She worked in education in the Netherlands and took a few months of unpaid leave every year.
Corry saw the great need in Mongolia. There are many street children who have to survive in the winter temperatures of minus 30 or minus 40 degrees. They do this in the tunnels in the city through which the hot water pipes pass. There are also many children in state orphanages in Mongolia.
After Corry returned to Mongolia in 1999, she founded the Asian Foundation upon her return. The goal of the Asian Foundation is to provide more structural assistance. In 2001 there were enough sponsors to buy a first apartment. And now Asian Foundation already owns 5 family homes. A total of more than 50 children live in these homes, and a total of more than 200 children have been passed through the center in the past.
