Child Sponsorship Graduates Support Program
As part of the Graduate Support Program in our communities, Good Neighbors Kyrgyz Republic conducted a series of training sessions for high school students and graduates. This project was aimed at career guidance, skill development, and knowledge enhancement, as well as providing opportunities for admission to top universities in Kyrgyzstan and abroad.
Our participants not only received valuable advice and knowledge but also attended excursions and workshops where they could witness real learning and working conditions firsthand. This is a unique opportunity to be inspired, gain practical experience, and understand the steps needed to build a successful future.
We believe that such initiatives help young people unlock their potential and make informed career choices. We extend our gratitude to everyone who supports and inspires the younger generation in our communities and beyond!

The opening of modern sanitary facilities took place in two rural schools: Kokchu CDP Nizhne-Chuisky aiyl (about 200 students) and Bolot Mambetov CDP Eshperovo aiyl (about 350 students).
The new sanitary facilities are designed to meet the needs of all students, including children with disabilities, and are equipped with special cabins for girls. Each facility is equipped with ramps, washbasins with hot water, a heating system and comfortable, private cabins.
All sanitary and building regulations are strictly observed during construction. Modern drain septic tanks are used as a recycling system, providing environmentally friendly waste recycling.
These improvements are an important step towards creating a safe, inclusive and supportive educational environment for all children. We continue to work to ensure that schools become spaces of equal opportunity, respect and care.
