-  The success story of beekeeper Samat Musuraliev -

Samat Musuraliev, a member of the Sary-Sogot cooperative, with more than 10 years of experience in beekeeping, has achieved impressive results! In 2024, thanks to the support of our program and the loan received, he collected 117 barrels of honey (3429 kg) and sold it to international markets.

In 2025, he plans to improve conditions for bees by purchasing 100 new hives.

"Beekeeping is our family's main source of income, and over the past three years our income would have been significantly lower without the support of Good Neighbors Kyrgyz Republic." -Samat Musuraliev-

Challenge: "Get a candy if you're not late for work" for employees

We often share stories about our projects, support for children, and humanitarian missions. But we rarely show the faces of the people who make it all happen. Yet behind every report figure and every donation box, there are real people.

Today, we decided to change that. We set up a little challenge for our team: "Get a candy if you're not late for work." Some arrived right on time and got their sweet reward, while others missed out on candy today — but made it into our video instead 🍬

Why did we do this? Because we want you to get to know us better: not just through official reports and news, but through our everyday, authentic lives. We want to connect more, answer your questions, hear your thoughts, and simply be closer to you 🤗

So, let's get acquainted! 💚
