"Global Youth Network"
Last week, schoolchildren from Kamyshanovka village and from Africa, Asia, and Korea met online as part of the Global Youth Network. Children talked briefly about their country, culture, and landmarks. Two more meetings are planned in this format to discuss the main topics - the climate crisis and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
We want to clarify, that Good Neighbors is launching a new educational program called “Good Neighbors Global Citizenship Education” (an international youth exchange program), the Global Youth Network. This project enables young people from around the world to become autonomous individuals who can develop a conceptual understanding of coexistence and empathy in a global world by expressing their opinions on global issues such as climate change and by practicing Good Action through international exchange activities.
Good Neighbors Kyrgyz Republic on February 2023 finished the improvement of the Health Center in Mirnoe village at Kok-Chu CDP* (Community Development Project). The heating system was installed, and a better water supply system was provided, also needful facilities were given. Most of the residents of Mirnoe village couldn’t stay inside the health center while receiving medical check-ups in the winter season due to the absence of a heating system. With support from the Branch nowadays Health Center can be comfortably operated in any season. Providing development of infrastructure with the main objective to improve access to necessary services for the community and children mainly is always one of the priorities of Good Neighbors Kyrgyz Republic while implementing of CDP* projects.
Good Neighbors Kyrgyz Republic implemented successfully My Village Project funded by KOICA from 2018 to 2022.
During the project, 30 villages in the Batken, Osh, and Chui regions actively participated in
developing village’s social infrastructure and creating income-generating projects.
As part of the post-project management program, a group of agronomists from the public association "AgroLead" conducted training
for farmers from the Batken region on vegetable cultivation in greenhouses and rice growing and drying techniques, including field visits.
The main goal is to enhance the potential of rural farmers and entrepreneurs, their knowledge, and skills
in the field of agriculture and business for the profitable operation of objects completed within the project.
