Regional Profile
Central Asia includes lands populated by Turkic- and Persian-speaking peoples who have historically been influenced by western Chinese and Mongol cultures. Interserve has been involved in this region for the past 30 years, in areas such as community development, healthcare and business. Increasingly this work has been alongside local Christian brothers and sisters.
Europe spans a range of countries, histories, cultures and economies. As in Central Asia, Islam is the majority faith in some of the European countries where we work. In light of increasing numbers of migrants and refugees arriving into Europe, many Interserve teams work in partnership with others to serve refugees and welcome migrants.
