Founded in 1956 as the Seventh-day Adventist Welfare Service and renamed ADRA in 1984, the agency has a long and successful history of providing humanitarian relief and implementing development initiatives.

ADRA opened its door to Mongolia in 1994 working for 29 years and partners with individuals, communities, organizations, and governments to improve the quality of life for Mongolians. ADRA Mongolia recognized the dignity that is inherent in each person and is commit- ted to improving the quality of human life.
