Hello!
We are two friends from Kyrgyzstan who started a social enterprise this summer. Alina and I both study abroad, but we always wanted to give back to our country. So we started an organization to provide volunteering trips to Kyrgyzstan for foreigners, where they can discover the beauty of Kyrgyz nature and get involved in education and community development projects.
We truly believe that the world needs to discover Kyrgyzstan and Central Asia. Help us provide an opportunity for everyone to make an impact in local communities and experience the breadth and the beauty of Kyrgyz land.
So far we have partnered with a reputable orphanage in Bishkek and a local non-profit organization that has built schools all across the country.
However, we need the first investments to build our foundation as a trustable entity to host these unique trips.
The funds will go towards:
-Setting up our team in Kyrgyzstan for new projects with our existing and potential partners.
- Digital outreach to let American students discover our programs.
- Continuous surveys and interviews with our potential visitors and volunteers.
- Our lawyer to set up our business as a legal entity
- First months of operational expenses
Alina and I believe in the cumulative power of people who can make a change to the entire landscape. With our volunteering trips, more people will have an opportunity to learn about Kyrgyzstan and it's legacy. And you will be a part of this first step towards a brighter future for the country and its people.
