STEAM through Play: Children’s Day Celebrated in Bel-Aldy and Uch-Terek
As part of the International Children's Day celebrations, Good Neighbors Kyrgyz Republic organized festive events for children in the Bel-Aldy and Uch-Terek Community Development Projects (CDPs) located in Toktogul District, Jalal-Abad Region. The events were held on June 3 in Bel-Aldy village and on June 4 in Uch-Terek village.
The events were implemented in close cooperation with the Abdy-Suerkulov and Uch-Terek local self-government bodies, as well as representatives of the local communities.
The concept of the events was developed based on the results of community needs assessments and focus group discussions. During the consultations, community members highlighted the limited opportunities for developing STEAM skills among children in schools and preschool institutions. In response to these identified needs, Good Neighbors organized educational activities using learning kits and creative games.
Throughout the events, children participated in various educational and creative games designed to strengthen logical thinking, creativity, communication skills, and teamwork.
By organizing activities across multiple communities, the initiative was able to reach a larger number of children and families living in remote areas, ensuring equal access to educational and recreational opportunities.
Osh is more than an ancient city with a rich history and the majestic Sulaiman-Too. Above all, Osh is its people, whose hospitality and warmth inspire us every single day.
In this video, we want to show Osh through the eyes of the Good Neighbors Kyrgyz Republic team.
We are proud to be part of this beautiful region's story, helping to create safe conditions for the younger generation and supporting families on their journey toward a better future.

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! 🚀✨
