Para 1.17 and 1.19 |
Alongside our partners at Women’s Public Union Erayim in the Kyrgyz Republic, we ran a professional development course for 35 teachers of English in Talas in June 2024, enabled by funds and three volunteers from Erayim Aid Trust UK, while also inducting three Kyrgyz trainers. Our work at the Buchur Center in Bishkek continues to flourish and expand, thanks to a continuing grant from the Swiss Fondation de Mire-Mont. 300 disadvantaged children, the majority girls, attended up to six free sessions every week, being taught English and ICT by three full-time local teachers outside their basic school hours. In addition, our staff offered their IT expertise to school colleagues. Our work continues to expand, despite the increased bureaucracy and suspicion with which foreign NGOs are viewed in the Kyrgyz Republic. |

Achievements and Performance

| Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole. |
Para 1.20 | With the professional development course for 35 teachers of English, both their standard of English and their enthusiasm for teaching was increased as teachers became familiar with new teaching methodology. This enthusiasm and pedagogical expertise will improve the experience of thousands of children in their lessons in the future. At the Buchur Center, 300 children of secondary school age from two deprived areas directly benefit from extra-curricular English and ICT lessons, which considerably enhance their future career prospects. The profile of both types of educational activity continues to rise within the Kyrgyz Republic, especially as the children take part successfully in local competitions, increasing interest from local and national media and other educational establishments. |
