This video shares the inspiring story of a Good Neighbors project aimed at supporting local farmers through affordable credit. Our heroes, Ruslan Toichubekov and Munarbek Zhamankulov, experienced beekeepers, received a low-interest loan to purchase modern beehives and bee boxes.
Thanks to this project, their beekeeping business has flourished. You'll get a glimpse of their apiaries, households, and learn how Good Neighbors' support has improved their lives and boosted local production.
About the Project: Toktogul honey is one of the income generation projects that we launched in 2022. During this time, we have allocated about 4.2 million soms. Our beneficiaries are 19 people.
The goal of this project is to increase the income of local farmers and the Toktogul honey brand.

On October 2, 2026, a working meeting and monitoring visit were conducted by the Country Director of Good Neighbors Kyrgyz Republic and a representative of the Korea Foundation for International Healthcare (KOFIH) to the Kyrgyz Republic as part of a joint project providing ophthalmic assistance to ethnic Koreans.
The main objective of the visit was to comprehensively evaluate the interim results of the joint initiative aimed at providing free diagnostic services and ophthalmic treatment to elderly ethnic Koreans residing in Bishkek and the Chui Region.
During the joint meeting, the project team presented the progress achieved to date, including the volume of initial check-ups, diagnostic procedures, and completed surgeries, as well as discussed future implementation plans for the initiative.
The monitoring program included a visit to the partner eye clinic, "Kudret Göz," where the KOFIH representative and the Director of Good Neighbors inspected the facility's equipment and infrastructure, patient care conditions, and the quality of medical services provided, while also reviewing joint operational dynamics with the medical staff.
Special emphasis was placed on direct dialogue with project beneficiaries: the representatives personally met with elderly ethnic Koreans who underwent treatment and surgeries to gather feedback and assess the real impact of the project on preserving their sight and improving their quality of life.
Quality education is impossible without basic conditions. But in remote regions, they are often simply missing:
How can we teach children computer literacy if there are no computers at school?
How can teachers educate when basic needs for clean water, hygiene, and hot meals are not met?
A teacher is a person just like any of us, with their own limits and emotional resources. The lack of basic conditions reduces teaching efficiency, leading to fatigue and burnout.
That’s why we at Good Neighbors Kyrgyz Republic don't stay on the sidelines! To create a strong foundation of support for teachers and children, we:
Equip computer classrooms (STEM);
Install drinking water filters and build modern sanitation facilities;
Organize healthy school meals and develop school gardens;
Conduct trainings for both teachers and students;
Organize mobile medical check-ups by bringing qualified specialists and equipment directly to the regions;
Systematically strengthen the educational environment.
Dear teachers and educators!
We sincerely congratulate you on your professional holiday! Thank you for your resilience, patience, and invaluable work. We are happy to stand by your side and support you on this journey.
Happy Education Workers' Day and World Teachers' Day!
