Alongside our partners at Women’s
Public Union Erayim in the Kyrgyz
Republic, we ran a professional
development course for 37 teachers of
English in Kadamjai in March 2025,
enabled by funds and two volunteers
from Erayim Aid Trust UK, while also
using the services of three Kyrgyz
trainers who had previously worked
with us successfully.
•
Our work at the Buchur Center in
Bishkek continues to flourish, thanks to
a continuing grant from the Swiss
Fondation de Mire-Mont. 112 girls and
62 boys in Bishkek attended extra-
curricular English sessions every week.
In addition, ICT classes in Bishkek and
Karakol catered for 119 girls and 86
boys. All these lessons were taught by
local teachers outside their basic
school hours. We were also able to
install a large wall monitor to assist the
delivery of ICT lessons in Karakol. Our
two ICT teachers ran free training
sessions and individual consultations
for 56 of the wider community of
teachers in their schools,on a| |||voluntary unpaid basis during their
holidays. Furthermore, our own
teachers have benefited from
professional development courses
offered by the Ministry of Education.
•
We ran two series of dental hygiene
and nutritional interactive workshops
given by specialists jointly for 58 girls
and 17 boys.
•
Our work continues, despite the
increased bureaucracy and suspicion
with which foreign NGOs are viewed in
the Kyrgyz Republic. We have done
much administrative and legal work to
comply with the stringent new
requirements of the Ministries of
Justice and Education appertaining to
Non-Governmental Organisations
funded byforeign countries.| |---|---|---| |Statement confirming

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 37 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, hundreds of 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. Our team won first prize in a
nation-wide competition for their
autonomous horticultural watering project,
part of their work on the application of
robotics. This and other successes causes
increasing interest from local and national
media and other educational
establishments.| |---|---|---| **Additional information (optional)** You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: |Achievements against
