Summary and headline written by AI from the source article. How we work
The Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA) finished renovating restrooms, cafeterias, and medical rooms at Tologon Kasymbekov Secondary School and Toktogul Satylganov School Complex in the Sokuluk district of Kyrgyzstan’s Chuy region.
KOICA began deploying project volunteers to these schools in 2025 to carry out the renovations as part of a program focused on water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH). Beyond the physical improvements, the volunteers have also taught classes, led hygiene workshops, and organised educational events and summer camps.
These activities aim to teach students about sanitation, encourage healthy habits, and create cleaner school environments. So far, 58 volunteers from five groups have worked on the project, with 11 currently at the schools continuing the educational and community work. KOICA intends to use this combination of infrastructure improvements and education to improve school hygiene practices throughout Kyrgyzstan.
