A Step into Adulthood: Training Held for Graduates of Bolot Mambetov ADP Schools
On June 29, Good Neighbors Kyrgyz Republic conducted a one-day training for 80 school graduates from the Bolot Mambetov Area Development Program (ADP) in Kaji-Sai village, Issyk-Kul Region.
The training aimed to support young people during their transition into adulthood, help them make informed decisions about their future education and career paths, and strengthen their confidence in their own abilities.
The program began with an introductory session about the work of Good Neighbors and opportunities for future engagement with the organization. Participants then discussed personal and financial responsibility, safety, document processing, informed decision-making, and ways to protect themselves from potential risks.
Particular attention was given to planning for life after graduation. The participants explored opportunities for continuing their education, professional development, employment, goal setting, and making informed career choices. They also learned about youth activism and volunteerism, discussing how community engagement helps develop leadership skills and gain valuable experience.
During the practical session, participants strengthened their communication, self-presentation, and teamwork skills. They were also introduced to the idea of establishing the Good Neighbors Alumni Club, which will serve as a platform for networking, sharing experiences, and participating in community initiatives.
Throughout the day, the graduates took part in interactive activities, team-building exercises, and a themed quiz. The event concluded with the presentation of commemorative gifts and a group photo.
We sincerely wish all graduates confidence as they move toward their goals. May they embrace new opportunities, believe in themselves, and build a bright and successful future.
From 14 November to 22 November 2024, Good Neighbors Kyrgyz Republic is being conducted series of trainings for the Community Health Workers (CHW) on anemia prevention and microelements deficit. The trainings are conducted at the regional level in Sokuluk, Ton, Toktogul and Kara-Suu regions within the framework of the project "Strengthening the community health in partnership with CHW", in collaboration with the Republican Health Center and Mass Communication.
In remote regions of the country an alarming level of anemia and iron deficit is observed, especially among children and women, caused by the malnutrition. The goal of the training is to increase the level of awareness of the volunteers, who are the activists and leaders of CHWs, about nutritious food and necessity to take preventive measures to replenish such essential elements for the human organism.
After the trainings, CHWs will conduct increasing awareness campaigns with the population with application of informative materials.

As part of the Graduate Support Program in our communities, Good Neighbors Kyrgyz Republic conducted a series of training sessions for high school students and graduates. This project was aimed at career guidance, skill development, and knowledge enhancement, as well as providing opportunities for admission to top universities in Kyrgyzstan and abroad.
Our participants not only received valuable advice and knowledge but also attended excursions and workshops where they could witness real learning and working conditions firsthand. This is a unique opportunity to be inspired, gain practical experience, and understand the steps needed to build a successful future.
We believe that such initiatives help young people unlock their potential and make informed career choices. We extend our gratitude to everyone who supports and inspires the younger generation in our communities and beyond!
