Focus Group Discussions within the Framework of a Comprehensive Needs Assessment were conducted
A series of Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) was successfully conducted as part of the comprehensive needs assessment in the Community Development Projects (CDPs) of Kok-Chu, Bolot Mambetova, Bel-Aldy, and Zhapalak located in Chui, Issyk-Kul, Osh, and Jalal-Abad regions of the Kyrgyz Republic.
The discussions brought together representatives of various community groups, including teachers, healthcare workers, parents, youth, farmers, entrepreneurs, representatives of local self-government bodies, and vulnerable population groups. The focus groups served as a platform for open discussion of current community challenges, identification of priority needs, and exploration of possible solutions.
The discussions covered issues related to education, healthcare, access to clean water and sanitation, rights protection, social support, employment, and income generation. Special attention was given to the challenges faced by vulnerable groups, access to basic services, improvement of living conditions, and strengthening the capacity of local communities.
The Focus Group Discussions enabled the collection of valuable qualitative information and ensured active community participation in the needs assessment process. The findings will be used for further planning and for developing practical programs and initiatives that are responsive to the real needs of the communities.
In July 2024, Women’s Community Aiym, with the support of Good Neighbors Kyrgyz Republic, organized Summer camp on the Issyk-Kul lake cost for persons with disabilities (PwDs).
13 participants of the camp spent three sunny unforgivable days in Solemar recreation center, which provided opportunity for persons with disabilities to have a quality rest free of charge. Staying in this center was especially comfortable for the participants, as its area is adapted for PwDs: has traps on the center area and easy access to the beach.
During these three days, participants were enjoying the beauty of the lake, communicating, sharing their success stories, motivating and inspiring each other. Participants returned to Bishkek with great impression, renewed and encouraged to overcome the new challenges.
This event also happened thanks to the support of “Red Petroleum” gas station network!

On 22 June 2024, Women’s Community Ayim, with the support of Good Neighbors Kyrgyz Republic organized a trip to the mountains of Issyk-Ata district for persons with disabilities.
Participants have a number of difficulties in using transportation in the city and individual residential buildings do not allow our beneficiaries to go out freely due to the lack of the necessary infrastructure.
But on this day, the guys spent an unforgettable day outdoors, enjoying the nature of our country.
This trip also happened thanks to the sponsors: International Charity Organization United Arab Emirates – Ajman and Alfa and “Red Petroleum” gas station network!
