A Step into Adulthood: Training Held for Graduates of Bolot Mambetov ADP Schools
On June 29, Good Neighbors Kyrgyz Republic conducted a one-day training for 80 school graduates from the Bolot Mambetov Area Development Program (ADP) in Kaji-Sai village, Issyk-Kul Region.
The training aimed to support young people during their transition into adulthood, help them make informed decisions about their future education and career paths, and strengthen their confidence in their own abilities.
The program began with an introductory session about the work of Good Neighbors and opportunities for future engagement with the organization. Participants then discussed personal and financial responsibility, safety, document processing, informed decision-making, and ways to protect themselves from potential risks.
Particular attention was given to planning for life after graduation. The participants explored opportunities for continuing their education, professional development, employment, goal setting, and making informed career choices. They also learned about youth activism and volunteerism, discussing how community engagement helps develop leadership skills and gain valuable experience.
During the practical session, participants strengthened their communication, self-presentation, and teamwork skills. They were also introduced to the idea of establishing the Good Neighbors Alumni Club, which will serve as a platform for networking, sharing experiences, and participating in community initiatives.
Throughout the day, the graduates took part in interactive activities, team-building exercises, and a themed quiz. The event concluded with the presentation of commemorative gifts and a group photo.
We sincerely wish all graduates confidence as they move toward their goals. May they embrace new opportunities, believe in themselves, and build a bright and successful future.

Good Neighbors Kyrgyz Republic continues to work on the "Good Mama 2024" project. The main objective of the project is to familiarize medical workers and the CHWs (Community Health Workers) employees with the prenatal and postnatal pregnancy process, as well as to consolidate their knowledge of how to properly care for a developing fetus and maintain the health of the mother.
As part of the project, trainings were held for medical workers and the 80 CHWs representatives in 4 regions. After the trainings, CHWs representatives, in coordination with the medical workers, held preventive talks with pregnant women and invited them to regular check-ups. As part of the project, in early August, monitoring of the 18 CHWs work was conducted, during which pregnant women participating in the project were examined and informed.
The main goal of monitoring pregnant women in the regions is to identify possible dangers to the child’s and mother's health and their timely treatment.
