Village Empowerment
From January 11th to 29th 2024 IRDP project provided a ToT (Training of Trainers). IRDP ToT involves experienced trainers guiding and equipping new trainers with vital expertise, empowering them to educate their communities about gender equality and financial literacy.
It is a key component of our approach to community development. This focuses on two fundamental principles below.
1. Gender equality training: Understanding the importance of creating inclusive communities, the trainings delve into the principles of gender equality. Participants will gain insight into how to break down stereotypes, promote inclusion and ensure equal opportunity for all. The goal is to empower our trainers to become trainers for change in their villages.
2. Financial literacy training: Financial well-being is the constant core of individual and societal prosperity. The financial literacy training covers important concepts such as budgeting, saving, and making sound financial decisions. By providing our coaches with these skills, we strive to empower them to help others make smart financial choices that will contribute to the overall development of the community.
The ToT is a strategic investment in the future of villages in the Kyrgyz Republic. By building the capacity of local leaders, IRDP strives to create self-sustaining progress in which people become advocates for their communities. It is believed to be a testament to the project’s commitment to driving positive change. Through this, the project is expecting sustainable training and empowerment in villagers in the future.
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!

In June 2024, Students at A. Kolbaev school in Zher-Ui just finished an amazing program called Global Youth Network!
Implemented in partnership with Good Neighbors Branches throughout the world, the program helped students learn about climate change solutions, explore the UN's Sustainable Development Goals, and even connect virtually with students in South Korea! They shared cultures and learned about each other's countries.
This program empowers young people to be global citizens who can make a difference.
