In southwestern Kyrgyzstan on the border with Uzbekistan, Dostuk village in Suzak district is a multi-ethnic community of nearly 2,000 people. Over the past five years, this village has experienced severe mudflows during heavy rains. To address these risks, Save the Children has been implementing the European Union funded Disaster Preparedness Programme (DIPECHO) VIII project: “Increasing Resilience of Institutions, Communities and Most Vulnerable Groups to Natural Disasters in Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan.”
