Update: Integrated Rural Development Project in the Kyrgyz Republic
On July 20 and 27, 2023, Good Neighbors Kyrgyz Republic had productive meetings with representatives from Osh and Batken regions to discuss the IRDP's progress. Heads of rural development departments, regional development funds, Aiyl Okmotu, committees, and IRDP partners actively participated in the discussions. The meetings focused on reporting activities in each village, addressing implementation challenges, promoting the project, and planning activities until 2023 end. Valuable insights from farmers and local villagers also played a crucial role in enhancing project efficiency. IRDP team are committed to the success of the Berekely Aimak project and will continue holding implementing committee meetings twice a year.
*Integrated Rural Development Project in Kyrgyz Republic, jointly with the Government of Kyrgyz Republic represented by the Ministry of Agriculture and KOICA, aims to reduce poverty in 30 villages over 4 years. It focuses on improving socio-economic conditions, promoting women's rights, sustainable agriculture, and advocating for rural development policies.
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!
