This video shares the inspiring story of a Good Neighbors project aimed at supporting local farmers through affordable credit. Our heroes, Ruslan Toichubekov and Munarbek Zhamankulov, experienced beekeepers, received a low-interest loan to purchase modern beehives and bee boxes.
Thanks to this project, their beekeeping business has flourished. You'll get a glimpse of their apiaries, households, and learn how Good Neighbors' support has improved their lives and boosted local production.
About the Project: Toktogul honey is one of the income generation projects that we launched in 2022. During this time, we have allocated about 4.2 million soms. Our beneficiaries are 19 people.
The goal of this project is to increase the income of local farmers and the Toktogul honey brand.

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 Branch in the Kyrgyz Republic has completed equipping of computer classrooms in two public schools, Kamyshanovka village, Sokuluk district and School #34 in Japalak district, Osh city.
Computer science classrooms are equipped with all the necessary equipment and materials for training. Training sessions were held for computer science teachers. There is also a special area for video recording, and special equipment has been allocated for printing training materials. In addition, groups of teachers have been formed to collaborate and create collaborative learning materials. We hope that students from these schools will become proficient computer users.
Every year Good Neighbors in the Kyrgyz Republic actively supports students in schools in Talas.
