“Safety is the foundation for the development and education of every child!”
A four-day intensive training-of-trainers on implementing the Methodological Guidelines for Creating a Safe Educational Environment for teachers and social educators concluded in Bishkek.
The initiative was conducted by the branch of the International NGO Good Neighbors in the Kyrgyz Republic in cooperation with the Ministry of Education of the Kyrgyz Republic.
The trainers who led the course emphasized the critical importance of fostering a protected atmosphere in educational institutions:
“Without safety, neither quality education nor healthy child development is possible. It is essential not only to notice physical threats in time, but also to detect violence and bullying. Children must feel protected both physically and psychologically — in schools as well as in kindergartens!”

- 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-
