Opening of sanitary facilities in CDP schools
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.
As part of the "Girls Empowerment Club" project, girls' changing rooms have been equipped in the sports halls of three schools in Sokuluk district:
- Lower Chuy Secondary School №1
- Lower Chuy Secondary School №2
- Kamyshanovka Secondary School
Additionally, work is ongoing in seven more schools.
**Why is this important?**
- Provides comfortable and safe conditions
- Helps girls overcome shyness and fear
- Encourages participation in sports
Our goal is to ensure every girl has the opportunity to develop her talents!

- 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-
