International University of Central Asia (IUCA), located in
Tokmok, Kyrgyz Republic, was founded in 2008 by the Mercy Charitable Christian Foundation
(MCCF) to meet the higher education needs in Central Asia. For many years,
Global Life Enrichment Center (GLEC) has been directly involved with a shared
vision and burden, accepting the invitation to carry on the vision passed down
by the Founding Elder, Yang Chia Shan.

The university aims to nurture young leaders and
professionals from Kyrgyzstan and Central Asia in both academic and personal
development. It upholds the highest moral standards, where outstanding academic
achievements reflect students’ honest efforts, and each diploma represents
genuine accomplishments. This is not an ordinary achievement, as the region is
plagued by rampant corruption and falsification. Employers recognize IUCA as an
exception, hence placing great value on diplomas and certificates issued by
IUCA in both Central Asia and around the world.

IUCA is committed to providing world-class education,
emphasizing a holistic learning environment for every student’s development
(physical, social, emotional, intellectual, and spiritual). Students are
nurtured here to become successful, integrity-driven leaders who can actively
contribute to society. The university pledges fair treatment to students and
encourages applications from students of diverse beliefs, nationalities, and
ethnicities.

Situated in Tokmok, adjacent to the 4900-meter peak of the
Tianshan Mountains, this city with the population of seventy thousand is the
birthplace of the Tang Dynasty poet Li Bai. It is 60 kilometers from the
capital city of Bishkek, approximately 90 minutes by car from the international
airport. In the 1830s, it was developed by the Uzbek Khan, and the population
gradually increased. During the Soviet era, Tokmok was a special military
stronghold. Many Kyrgyz and Uzbek people reside here, along with Russians,
Uighurs, Donggan, and Tatars.

The campus facilities provide an international standard
learning environment with modern comfortable classrooms and facilities,
including a fully equipped technology information room for academic courses and
language learning.

A particularly significant milestone came on June 4, 2025. The Sunny Education Building at the International University of Central Asia (IUCA) was officially dedicated and inaugurated with a ribbon-cutting ceremony, marking the completion and official opening of the university’s new campus, a project made possible through the long-term vision and support of the Global Life Enrichment Center.

Over the past decade, the International University of Central Asia (IUCA) has experienced rapid growth in student and faculty numbers, leading to a pressing need for expansion due to insufficient facilities. The new education building not only addresses the immediate need for additional space but also provides a platform for the university to achieve a balanced education in moral, intellectual, physical, and social aspects. Through upgrades in both infrastructure and campus culture, students will be nurtured for balanced development in spirituality, character, and leadership.
