      <image:caption>He lives with his parents, brother and siblings in a small yard with two other families. His parents have no income during the winter months. They struggle with access to drinking water, sanitation and air pollution in sub-zero temperatures. Munkhbold fetches water and takes care of his younger brother, Munkhd, who has had jaundice since he was an infant, leading to a stroke. Two in every five people struggling with poverty are children under the age of fifteen. .</image:caption>

      <image:title>who we are - Venerable Panchen Ötrul Rinpoche</image:title>
      <image:caption>FOUNDER AND PRESIDENT Panchen Ötrul Rinpoche was born in Eastern Tibet in 1939 to nomadic parents. In 1961, he received a monk’s full ordination from His Holiness the Dalai Lama. He completed his formal studies in India in 1980 and was awarded the highest degree of Geshe Lharampa, equivalent of a doctorate in Tibetan Buddhist Philosophy. In 1995, he accompanied His Holiness to Mongolia, and immediately set about finding ways to overcome the high levels of poverty he encountered there. He established Asral NGO in 2003 with the core aim of keeping children off the streets, preserving the integrity of the family and providing training for sustainable futures, prioritising the welfare of children and their mothers.</image:caption>
