Support Tunga's Journey to Columbia University
Donation protected
Dear Friends, Supporters, and Kind-hearted Individuals,
Today, we have the privilege of sharing an incredible story of determination and perseverance. Meet Erdenetungalag Khas-Erdene, an 18-year-old from the small village of Bayn-Uul in Mongolia. Despite the challenges she has faced due to her remote location and limited resources, Erdenetungalag has been accepted into Columbia University in New York, a prestigious institution where she dreams of studying Environmental Science or Urban Planning.
Erdenetungalag's Story:
Erdenetungalag grew up in Bayn-Uul, a village where no one has ever had the opportunity to study abroad in the United States. Her achievement of gaining acceptance into an Ivy League university has not only made her family and community proud, but it has also inspired hope for countless others. Even the President of Mongolia recognized her exceptional accomplishments by awarding her a scholarship. However, this scholarship only covers tuition fees and provides a modest monthly allowance of $200.
The Financial Challenge:
While Erdenetungalag is immensely grateful for the scholarship she has received, the remaining expenses, including mandatory fees, and health insurance, amount to a total of $18,392. For her family, which consists of her mother and two younger sisters, this is an enormous financial burden. Her mother, who works as a teacher, earns less than $100 per month, and selling their only house in Bayn-Uul is their last resort to cover the expenses required for Erdenetungalag's journey, including purchasing a laptop for college.

Erdenetungalag's dreams can become a reality with your support. Here's how you can make a difference:
