Spark Hope: Help Us Share the Quiet Stories That Shape Peace

Some of the most powerful stories are the ones we rarely hear — the coach transforming lives by seeing athletes, not just disabilities; the researcher reclaiming history to restore dignity; the professor revolutionizing learning by fostering true equality in the classroom. These are the voices at the heart of Yntymak Talks — real people creating peace every day, without applause.

Your support gives them a stage.

Each donation helps bring one “Hidden Hero” to share their story: covering travel, recording, and a space to be heard.

When we listen, we remember that peace is not built by institutions — it’s built by people.

Give today. Let’s honor the quiet courage that keeps communities whole.

Each year during Peace (Yntymak) Week, held around the International Peace Day , communities across Kyrgyzstan come together to share, reflect, and inspire. One of the most meaningful moments is Yntymak Talks — a TEDx-style platform where local peacebuilders, youth leaders, and women changemakers tell their powerful stories of courage, connection, and quiet transformation.

We hope to inspire real action and a renewed sense of hope by celebrating our Hidden Heroes — individuals who are quietly building a better future for their communities. Their efforts often go unnoticed, but their impact is profound. By giving them a platform through Yntymak Talks, we aim to honor their dedication, amplify their stories, and inspire others to follow their example.
