A Visit to Central Asia

For the first time in nearly two years, Uncharted was able to send two staff members to visit our team in Central Asia. The trip was significant for both our staff and our international team, and filled with meaningful moments—including the opportunity to meet some of our Field Partners in person for the first time.

While in Central Asia, our trade school program celebrated a graduation for the electrician program. Each graduate receives a toolkit necessary for the profession, and several students have already started a business together.

Due to changes made by the new government, female students and staff have not been allowed to return to the business and trade programs. Our staff on the ground have been working and meeting with officials in an attempt to gain permission for their colleagues to return. Though the work is slow and frustrating, we are excited to share that female teachers and staff have been able to return to the primary school—thanks to the determination and hard work of our staff in Central Asia.
