The seminar in Osh was a continuation of the initiative launched on August 28 in Bishkek, bringing together school principals, teachers, and representatives of school health and water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) committees from Osh, Jalal-Abad, and Batken regions.

The key highlight of the seminar was the distribution of practical guidelines and information-educational materials (booklets and posters) to school administrations on implementing clean water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) measures.

Piano performance by our young musician AliHamza Esen

One year ago, in the Asia Mall shopping center, in the Beauty Club area, a special place appeared — a charity corner of Good Neighbors Kyrgyz Republic. This is a space where anyone can pause amidst the usual shopping hustle, play the piano, and bring warmth to children who are in great need of support. 🎹💚

Recently, our young musician AliHamza Esen (@alihamza_esen_) shared this wonderful video with us. How wonderful it is when music becomes the language of kindness, uniting people around one important goal. ❤️

All funds collected in the charity box go toward implementing Good Neighbors' charitable projects to support children and families in need.

We sincerely thank everyone who stops by our piano, plays, makes a donation, or simply supports this good initiative. It is thanks to you that music turns into real help, and together we give hope and create positive change.

Training for Good Neighbors Kyrgyz Republic employees: «Prevention of Emotional Burnout».

On July 30, 2026, a training session on “Prevention of Emotional Burnout” was held for employees of Good Neighbors Kyrgyz Republic.

The event was aimed at raising staff awareness about emotional burnout, its key signs, causes, and consequences, as well as introducing effective methods for prevention and maintaining emotional well‑being.

During the two‑hour program, participants engaged in a series of interactive sessions focused on practical mastery of self‑assessment tools and prevention of professional burnout. Throughout the training, employees examined risk factors and early warning signs of this condition. They then carried out practical exercises designed to identify individual risk factors and analyze professional resources.

Special attention was given to the topic of “Communication and Interaction” — participants explored effective teamwork skills, which are an essential component of resilience and burnout prevention. The program also included team reflection and practical activities.

The training served as an important platform for open dialogue and strengthening team collaboration, contributing to a positive working atmosphere and enhancing staff resilience to professional stress.

We extend our gratitude to our esteemed colleague Fatima Alymbekova f.mishaevna for her engaging program and professionalism.
