Overview

Mission

Health and education related development in Central Asia

What it reported doing in 2025

In a pastoralist society, the health of the community's animals impacts the health of the community's people - both physically and economically. Starting in 2020, we began the translation of the book, Handbook of Animal Health. The book was translated to both Kyrgyz and Russian, and after some delays getting to print, they were finally published and ready at the end of June 2023. The author, Dr. Peter Quesenberry came from Thailand (where he lives) at the end of June for an in-person book promotions ceremony to launch the distribution of the books. We hired a local veterinarian to our team as our book promotions campaign manager, and we traveled through the country to every single region promoting the book to universities, agricultural extension offices, veterinarians, and farmers. In the capital, we presented the book to the National Veterinary Services of the Ministry of Agriculture, the National Veterinary Associations, and the head of the National Veterinary College at the Agrarian University in the capital city.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent spending detail to tell whether the nonprofit works directly or through others.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filed totals do not add up and expenses are high relative to revenue.
