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.

On October 8, 2024, the organization "Good Neighbors Kyrgyz Republic" held an opening ceremony for a new kindergarten kitchen in the Uch-Terek village in the Toktogul district. As part of this project, "Good Neighbors Kyrgyz Republic" provided the administration and management of the kindergarten with the necessary construction materials, as well as modern equipment. The new kitchen, equipped with advanced technology, will ensure that children have access to healthy, nutritious, and balanced meals.
On the same day, a new medical center was opened, built through the joint efforts of local authorities, medical staff, residents, and "Good Neighbors Kyrgyz Republic." With funding and support from "Good Neighbors Kyrgyz Republic," the water supply system was reconstructed, allowing all key areas of the medical center to have access to clean drinking water.
This medical center holds significant strategic importance for the region, as it provides assistance not only to the residents of Toktogul district (approximately 30,000 people) but also serves the section of the Bishkek-Osh road, where accidents frequently occur.
