School gardens: providing healthy nutrition for children
On August 25, 2026, Good Neighbors Kyrgyz Republic organized a practical experience-sharing workshop on "Organization of Healthy Nutrition in Schools" at K. Chokoev School in Kotormo village under the "Green Schools for Healthy Nutrition" project. School principals from the Uch-Terek and Bel-Aldy areas participated in the event.
The primary goal of the workshop was to demonstrate how the effective use of school grounds allows for growing fresh fruits and vegetables for the school cafeteria, thereby enriching students' daily diets with nutritious hot meals. 🍲🍛
During the field visit, the team of K. Chokoev School shared their unique experience:
- Crop diversity: apples, cucumbers, potatoes, strawberries, as well as lemons and bananas are successfully grown on the school grounds.
- High yield: the school harvests crops twice per season.
- Reliable storage: participants were shown a self-constructed basement storage facility that keeps the produce fresh throughout the entire school year.
Participants showed great interest in the practical details, discussing irrigation, crop cultivation, food storage, and adapting these approaches in their own schools. In addition, the school leaders addressed key challenges of mountainous regions, particularly the short agricultural season and limited access to irrigation water.
The workshop served as clear proof that school-based farming is an accessible and effective tool for enhancing hot meal programs and improving children's health. 💚

We often share stories about our projects, support for children, and humanitarian missions. But we rarely show the faces of the people who make it all happen. Yet behind every report figure and every donation box, there are real people.
Today, we decided to change that. We set up a little challenge for our team: "Get a candy if you're not late for work." Some arrived right on time and got their sweet reward, while others missed out on candy today — but made it into our video instead 🍬
Why did we do this? Because we want you to get to know us better: not just through official reports and news, but through our everyday, authentic lives. We want to connect more, answer your questions, hear your thoughts, and simply be closer to you 🤗
So, let's get acquainted! 💚
