Happy International Children's Day!
Dear children, parents, teachers, and everyone dedicated to caring for the younger generation,
Good Neighbors Kyrgyz Republic sincerely congratulates you on International Children’s Day!
This day reminds us of what matters most: every child deserves a happy childhood, love, care, safety, and the opportunity to reach their full potential. Children are our future, a source of inspiration, and our hope for a better world.
For 35 years, Good Neighbors International has been working for the well-being of children around the world. Today, the organization positively impacts the lives of millions of people in more than 40 countries, with a strong focus on child rights protection, well-being, and inclusive community development.
In Kyrgyzstan, Good Neighbors has been operating since 2014. Throughout these years, together with our partners, local communities, schools, and families, we have been creating conditions that enable children to grow up healthy, receive quality education, develop their talents, and feel safe and protected.
On this special day, we wish every child bright smiles, joyful discoveries, loyal friends, and confidence in the future. May your dreams come true, and may you always be surrounded by people who support, inspire, and help you take the first step toward great achievements.
Happy International Children’s Day!

The Sary-Sogot cooperative is growing!
Thanks to the Good Neighbors program, income-generating projects, the Sary-Sogot cooperative is steadily developing, increasing honey production and the number of participants. In 2024, the cooperative participated in the “Honey” project with the support of Good Neighbors. By December 2024, the participants had successfully implemented the project.
Now the cooperative's goal is to produce more honey and create a sustainable future for its business.
- 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-
