Youth Voice for Ecology: Eco-Debates Held in Osh Schools
Environmental debates (Eco-Debate) among high school students were successfully held at Secondary School No. 48 (Kerme-Too) and Secondary School No. 45 named after M. Myrzaev in Osh city.
Although for many students this was their first experience participating in debates, from the very beginning they demonstrated great interest, active participation, and sincere engagement in discussing current environmental issues. During the event, participants learned how to express their opinions with arguments, listen to opposing views, work as a team, and collaboratively find solutions.
The eco-debates became an important platform for developing public speaking, critical thinking, leadership, and teamwork skills.
We hope that such initiatives will inspire young people to continue their personal development and participate in future debate tournaments, helping to build an active civic position.
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.

Good Neighbors Kyrgyz Republic implemented a capacity building training for the members of the cooperatives in Bolot Mambetov, Bel-Ady, Zhapalak CDP, and Ayim Cooperative last weekend.
The main purpose of the training was to enhance cooperatives’ members’ skills and knowledge. Throughout the training participants learned more about Financial Literacy, Basics of Taxation and Tax Regulation in Kyrgyz Republic, Bookkeeping and Project Management. The capacity building training was led by qualified experts in these areas.
Besides the informative sessions, training was a great platform for the cooperative members to get together, build a network and share their experience with each other. We were happy to see our partners. We wish a fruitful harvest in the upcoming harvesting season.
