What does STLI do?
STLI provides work opportunities for educators, physicians, nurses, dentists,

to apply their teaching skills in Central Asia.
Why work in Central Asia?
Most of the newly independent Central Asian republics of the former Soviet
Union recognize the need for international assistance in reforming their societies,
economic structures and institutions. The people are friendly and hospitable,
highly educated, in economic difficulties and are open to international help.

Since 1993 STLI works by invitation from local governments, with people and
institutions in Central Asian countries (currently primarily in Kyrgyzstan)
to train and empower them. It provides work opportunities for educators in
computer science and English, primary care physicians, nurse educators, dentists,
business and community development specialists from many countries of the world.
