Hi friends!

Thank you so much for your donation! We are a youth movement located in Karakol and Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan. We believe that Kyrgyzstan and Central Asia have amazing, talented youth who are capable of shaping the history of our nations. Our new name is “Asmanschool.” We decided to re-brand because now we started coaching our students in spheres of business and arts, in addition to English.

Our concept of lessons is based on 3 pillars:

1 - Identify. We help our students find their passion, and help them identify their strong sides where they can be most effective. As a result of this work, they should be able to find their future professions.

2 - Learn. We guide our students in terms of which books to read and subjects to study, so they can successfully get admitted to the universities they choose. Also, we develop entrepreneurial, social, teamwork, leadership, and creative skills. As a result of this work, our students will be better equipped and ready for real-life challenges.

3 - Experience. We will provide opportunities for our students to volunteer in different commercial and charity organizations, travel within the country and abroad, and even launch their own small startup businesses. We believe that our graduates will become amazing individuals who will be influential in our society locally and globally.

Our goal is to fundraise 5000 USD, and this money will go for:

Covering tuition of 10 students for 9 months (1500 USD)
Buying 2 monitors, 2 laptops and 2 speakers to equip 2 rooms (1500 USD)
Buying our espresso machine, coffee grinder and a fridge (1500 USD)
Investing into 5 students’ start-up projects (500 USD)

With our little coffee shop in our school, we want to teach the students coffee-making skills and sell coffee drinks, which will further sustain the business. With our equipped rooms, we can teach students how to run their reading, charity, acting, and talking clubs, which will help them become leaders of their clubs. And our start-up investment will help students run their own small businesses like selling handcrafted lollipops, apple chips, and other creative ideas that they come up with. We have already tested all the above businesses in partnership with local businesses and we have seen that it is profitable and students were excited when we tried. Now, we believe it is time for the students to become self-sufficient and become the true entrepreneurs they strive for.

We will be very grateful if you help us find a donor. Our goal is to find 500 donors, each donating 10 USD.

With love,

Team Asmanschool
