Central Asian Free Exchange (CAFE):
Environmental Health and Humanitarian Aid in Uzbekistan
*********************************************************
Central Asian Free Exchange (CAFE), based in Tashkent, Uzbekistan,
has recently initiated 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 as appropriate. 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.

aid to orphans and children with both mental and physical
disabilities. It's aim is twofold; firstly to provide various
equipment to state run institutions throughout Uzbekistan and
secondly to provide the professional training required to maximise
useage of available resources. Contact: Mala Malstead, tel +7 3712
