Children’s health and well-being are our top priorities. Under the “Clean Drinking Water in Kindergartens” project, the Good Neighbors Kyrgyz Republic team has successfully completed the installation of modern drinking water filtration systems in 20 kindergartens.
To ensure the continuous and long-term operation of the equipment, 2 additional sets of replacement filters were provided to each kindergarten for future maintenance.
The kindergarten directors and staff expressed their sincere gratitude for the work carried out, emphasizing the importance of providing children with safe and high-quality drinking water every day.
We are delighted that this initiative contributes to improving conditions for children in kindergartens and creating a healthier future for the younger generation!
