In Central Asia, entrepreneurs are brimming with ideas and enthusiasm but lack the "know how" to make small businesses work.

During decades of Soviet rule private businesses were forbidden. Today, without a vital domestic economy, many Central Asian men are forced to seek work in Russia for months or years at a time. While labor migration enables many rural families to survive, the long-term economic benefits are limited as labor migration drains skills, resources and creativity away from the local economy.

OM partners with both local and international NGOs in a variety of small business development programs. We hope to provide a viable alternative to labor migration for many families.

We urgently need experienced personnel from a business background who can be involved in training, resourcing and mentoring Central Asian entrepreneurs - men and women - through the process of establishing and expanding their own businesses.

Help us tell the world about what God is doing among one of the most unreached people groups in the world.

HIV/ AIDS is increasing in Central Asia. We need men to get the word out before it is too late.

Poverty in rural Central Asia drives many men to seek work in Russia for months or years at a time. Although labor migration ensures economic survival of many rural families year-to-year, its long-term consequences are horrific – the current increases in family breakdown and substance abuse and especially the rising rate of HIV infection can all be directly linked to labor migration.

Our development organization’s projects take a holistic approach to health education, addressing the facts related to sexual health, HIV infection and other health issues within a moral framework where deeper issues are also addressed. In traditional Central Asian culture, such subjects are normally discussed in single sex groups. As a result, our development organization urgently needs men with a health background and training gifts who can lead community-based health education projects aimed at men.

Our work is heavily dependent on both the goodwill of the government and a steady stream of personnel and financial resources.
