About the Foundation

The U.S.- Central Asia Education Foundation was incorporated as a USA not-for-profit organization in May 2007 to further the work of the Central Asian-American Enterprise Fund (the Fund) by building upon the private-sector development assistance programs established by the Fund. The Foundation's mission is to encourage and assist development and growth of a vibrant open-market private business sector in Central Asia by: supporting the quality of - and affordable access to - western business know-how and practices at selected institutions of higher learning in the region that have adopted western curriculum and teaching methods; providing opportunities for educational, vocational, and cultural experience in countries that serve as positive examples of an open-market economy operating within a democratic environment; and, promoting other activities that will generate a favorable environment in Central Asia for private business to succeed and entrepreneurial spirit to thrive.
