In Poland, Danaker has expanded its membership, created new partnerships, and diversified its activities. Fifty women have participated in career advice seminars and another thirty in the pilot mentorship program, while more than 1,000 women joined the workshops on social life and integration, benefiting from counseling, webinars, training sessions, book club meetings, and cultural events.

Building on these successes, Danaker has been awarded an Erasmus+ grant of 60,000 EUR to support the implementation of "DigiMentor," which aims to develop the mentorship competencies of guidance staff who work with migrant women. Partners from Estonia, Belgium, and Norway will collaborate on this project.

In just one year since its foundation, Danaker has grown exponentially thanks to the pioneering spirit of its founder, Aitolgon. By seizing opportunities to participate in EU-funded dialogues, competitions, and projects, Aitolgon and Danaker have created numerous opportunities for Kyrgyz women in Poland and beyond. This success story has even inspired other diaspora groups from Central Asia, leading to new associations for diaspora groups from Kazakhstan and Tajikistan. If one young woman can have such an impact on her community, we can only imagine the transformative contributions that more associations led by young women will bring to society.
