Most of the rural areas of Kyrgyzstan due to their remoteness from the centre as well as to the geographical and economical condition of the country have no basic domestic facilities: clean drinking water, natural gas, uninterrupted electricity, warm water etc that are the problems formidable for the government. These problems are mostly concerned women as due to the intense migration of men in search of jobs, there are mainly women staying at homes, caring of family members and making field works. Additionally, there are number of social activities in villages like - birth of child, anniversaries, marriages, funerals and many other events that celebrated with many guests and which require the participation of women in the home works. Such events and daily household routine require such basic needs like hot water for washing dishes, cleaning, laundry etc., which do not exist in poor families. The way of heating water in the villages is made mostly by cutting trees and burning fire woods which require even more efforts of women and have crucial ecological impacts. The solution was found by the women living under these conditions and was supported by the SGP.
