AMURT Mongolia - International Organisation for Disaster Relief, Sustainable Development and Community Service
Description
Excerpted from the website:
- AMURT (Ananda Marga Universal Relief Team) is one of the few private voluntary organizations of Third World origin, being founded by Shrii P. R. Sarkar in India in 1965. Its original objective was to help meet the needs of victims of disasters that regularly hit the Indian sub-continent. Over the years AMURT has established teams in eighty countries, to create a network that can meet development and disaster needs almost anywhere in the world. In 1985 we broadened our goals to include long-term development. We feel we can play a useful role in helping the poor break the cycle of poverty and gain greater control over their lives. For us, development is human exchange: people sharing wisdom, knowledge and experience to build a better world.
