School is a source of knowledge for every citizen of the Kyrgyz Republic. In educational institutions there are the most acute problems that remain unresolved due to the financial difficulties of the state budget, and subsequently it affects the quality of education.

Every year school graduates are happy to give their schools gifts such as carpets, safes, curtains, portraits, considering it a useful gift, however, we offer You to make a small but significant contribution to the education of the younger generation – to buy as a gift ilimBox, which has no expiration date, and does not require monthly payment.
Members of the ProKG Professional Club purchased eighteen (18) ilimBox devices and presented them to the schools where they studied.this is the most vivid example of an effective partnership between graduates and students, since using ilimBox every child learns about the person who gave a unique device and mentally thanks him for getting an “a” in class. Donor programs, for example, in the field of school education, digital skills or innovative teaching methods can acquire ilimBox to help students as well as teachers. Undoubtedly, this will be a great contribution to the future of children.
