Kazakhstan
Children's Bridge Foundation partnered with SOS Children's Villages in Almaty, Kazakhstan to provide school supplies, uniforms and extra academic support for 52 children who lived in foster care in the village. Children in Almaty who have been orphaned, abandoned, or whose families can no longer take care of them, can find a loving home in one of eleven SOS families. Their sense of normal family life is further helped by attending nearby schools together with local children, enabling them to become part of the community.
SOS Children's Villages has been working in Kazakhstan since 1994, three years after the country had become independent from the Soviet Union. The country was undergoing social, political and economic changes which had a negative effect on the people of Kazakhstan. There has been a rise in the number of children without parental care, partly because of the lack of resources to support vulnerable families who are suffering from alcohol or drug abuse, from illness or from poverty. There has also been an increase in the number of children who live on the streets; often these children do not attend school and are vulnerable to malnutrition, violence and sexual abuse. Children's Bridge Foundation worked with SOS Children's Villages to help provide these kids a better future.
