About the Foundation
The Foundation for Mongolian Culture was established in Tokyo, Japan in June 2002 by Mongolian people from China. The goal of the organization is to support the promotion of Mongolian education and traditional culture in China. It is administered by a number of Mongolian and Japanese volunteers.
In China, Mongolians live not only in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, but also in other provinces and autonomous regions such as Heilongjiang, Jilin, Liaoning, Qinghai, Gansu, and the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region.
Today, in China many Mongolian school children suffer under economic difficulty. They also have little opportunity to learn their native language and traditional culture from their parents during their childhood.
We are Mongolians originating from China, presently living in Japan, who in order to maintain and promote traditional Mongolian culture and cultivate the next generation of intellectuals, have established “the Foundation for Mongolian Culture”.
Since 2002, in a mere eight years, the foundation has offered scholarships to over 520 Mongolian children in 23 schools.
