ISOC Kyrgyz Chapter, with the support of the American Embassy in the Kyrgyz Republic, is launching a project aimed at strengthening rural entrepreneurship and developing small businesses in Kyrgyzstan.

The main goal of the Sanarip Insan project is to expand the knowledge and skills of women in the field of digital platforms related to tourism to improve their economic well-being.

Solving the problems faced by women in Kyrgyzstan is important for their social and economic empowerment. The SDGs emphasize the importance of full and productive employment, especially for vulnerable groups such as youth and women, to eradicate poverty and promote inclusive growth. Rural women do not use digital technologies and online platforms, which hinders their ability to reach a wider audience and take advantage of the growth of the industry. In addition, limited access to education, especially in areas related to the use of ICT, also prevents women from starting their own businesses. By solving these problems and providing real employment opportunities, it is possible to strengthen social and political stability in Kyrgyzstan.

The main goal of the “Sanarip Insan” project is to expand the knowledge and skills of women in the field of digital platforms related to tourism to enhance their economic well-being. Within the project, training will be conducted on a wide range of digital skills, including working with digital tourism platforms. They will be taught to create and promote tourism services and products online, allowing them to actively participate in the development of tourism in their regions and increase their income through digital opportunities. By providing women in rural areas with digital skills and entrepreneurial support, the project will contribute to the expansion of their rights and opportunities and improve their overall quality of life.
