Cindy Edson

Cindy Edson and her spouse have devoted over four decades to serving vulnerable populations worldwide. For the last two decades, she has focused on special needs orphans in Uzbekistan, establishing a Transition Center that provides vocational training and life skills development.

Previously, her humanitarian efforts spanned India and Pakistan, addressing healthcare and hygiene needs among refugees and underserved populations.

The Transition Center

The Transition Center teaches life skills and vocational training to young adults aging out of the orphanage system. The center provides crucial support during this challenging period, helping them develop independence and prepare for adult life.

The young adults at the Transition Center create beautiful handcrafted art pieces, including watercolors, jewelry, beadcraft, and textiles. These creations showcase their talents and provide a source of pride and potential income.

Uzbekistan and Humanity

Cindy's work is supported through Uzbekistan and Humanity, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the lives of vulnerable populations in Uzbekistan.
