Within the framework of the "Good Mama 2024" project, Good Neighbors Kyrgyz Republic organized two-day trainings for medical workers and CHWs on the topic "Antenatal and postnatal care for pregnant women" in 4 regions of the country.
Purpose: to increase knowledge and skills in providing quality care to pregnant women.

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!
On September 27, the international STEM project championship for girls, STEMKYZ CUP 2026, took place — a vibrant event that brought together young innovators, mentors, and experts.
We, Good Neighbors Kyrgyz Republic, were delighted to serve as partners for this large-scale event and to support the rising generation of talent. During the championship, we had the opportunity to speak with one of the remarkable participants — listen to the video to learn about the ideas and inspiration shared by the youth of Kyrgyzstan!
For us, supporting children and creating conditions for their growth is a core priority. Guided by our key principle — encouraging self-reliance and the continuous development of individuals, families, and communities — we are proud to be part of such initiatives and to help unlock the potential of every child.
We express our gratitude to the STEMKYZ organizers for creating such a powerful platform, as well as to all the participants for their hard work, courage, and dedication to making the world a better place! 🚀✨
