Clean water, sanitation and hygiene are the foundation of children's health and learning
On August 28, in Bishkek, the UN World Food Programme (WFP), together with the Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA), the Ministry of Education and Science of the Kyrgyz Republic, the Ministry of Health of the Kyrgyz Republic, and Good Neighbors Kyrgyz Republic held a practical workshop on WASH standards for schools.
The key highlight of the event was the presentation of a practical handbook on implementing clean water, sanitation, and hygiene standards in educational institutions to school principals.
What does the WASH framework in schools include?
🔹 Access to safe drinking water and quality sanitation facilities.
🔹 Convenient handwashing stations and adherence to food hygiene rules.
🔹 Creating an inclusive, accessible, and comfortable environment for all children, including children with disabilities.
During the workshop, representatives of schools participating in the school feeding project discussed the work of school health committees and methods for developing healthy habits among students.
📍 What's next? Later this week, a similar workshop will be held in Osh for representatives of schools from the southern regions of Kyrgyzstan!
Together, we are creating a safe and healthy environment for the future generation!
In June 2024, Students at A. Kolbaev school in Zher-Ui just finished an amazing program called Global Youth Network!
Implemented in partnership with Good Neighbors Branches throughout the world, the program helped students learn about climate change solutions, explore the UN's Sustainable Development Goals, and even connect virtually with students in South Korea! They shared cultures and learned about each other's countries.
This program empowers young people to be global citizens who can make a difference.

We are pleased to inform you that Good Neighbors Kyrgyz Republic successfully completed the "National Testing" project in 2024, within which the last stage was to conduct post-testing of 11th grade students in 4 regions of the country.
The post-testing process within the framework of the project is necessary to analyze the effectiveness of the 3-month process of teaching schoolchildren and preparing students for the national testing (ORT), which was conducted by a team of professionals.
