  4. Why a project in Central Asia? Why a project in Central Asia? • Humanitarian Need… Tajikistan is the poorest nation outside of Africa. Its per capita income is less than $200. • Newest Rotary Nation…show Tajiks & Kyrgyz people that business and community leaders in the USA are prepared to help. • Public Diplomacy…Rotary is critical to the development and democratization of these nations. Embassy leaders are joining with these projects. • First Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan, then Kazakhstan. Perhaps later Afghanistan, Uzbekistan, and Turkmenistan.

  5. Tajikistan per capita income Tajikistan per capita income is less than $200, a level smaller than every nation on the planet with the exception of half a dozen African nations. However, literacy rates in Tajikistan are high (above 98%) suggesting an excellent potential for economic development.
