As the Director for Alpine Fund, Salavat is responsible for developing programs aimed at helping orphans, children of internally displaced persons, and children who work in local bazaars through outdoor education. Salavat is an expert in NGO development, management, and communication, and has developed skills in creating projects, working with at-risk youth, and cooperating with state agencies. During her fellowship in the United States, Salavat hopes to learn about conflict resolution, peacebuilding, and the impact of unemployment and poverty on young refugees while also developing her skills in networking, reporting, and grant writing. Upon returning to Kyrgyzstan, Salavat plans to combat the issue of youth joining terrorist groups by hosting community events, presenting the experiences of other countries, and cooperating with local state agencies.
