Central Asian Free Exchange


Central Asian Free Exchange (CAFE) is a private voluntary organization founded in the early nineties by John O’Farrell, then a graduate student from the University of Washington. Based in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, CAFE has recently announced a number of humanitarian projects to benefit the people of Uzbekistan.

The first of these is an investigation of water quality and its impact on public heath. The aim is to provide a basis for prioritising actions for improving water quality and to promote and catalyse the implementation of solutions to identified problems. In addition, it is anticipated that a city or region will be identified where a more comprehensive investigation of environmental health problems will be undertaken.

In a second project, CAFE is involved in distributing humanitarian aid to orphans and children with both mental and physical disabilities. Its aim is two-fold; first, to provide various equipment to state-run institutions throughout Uzbekistan and, second , to provide the professional training required to maximize usage of available resources.
