• 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.
