Story 2
Ten years ago, Olga was happy: work, home, loving husband. Olga’s husband herded cattle and liked to drink after work. At first, she did not consider it a big problem, but over the years his addiction progressed. And when the couple had a child, Olga’s husband was convicted of hooliganism. The woman was left almost completely alone, with a baby in her arms.

Timur and his sister, born the same age, did not remember the care in their biological family. Their parents suffered from addictions, and their fate was difficult: their father died early, and their mother was convicted of a serious crime.

FAQ
Who does SOS Children's Villages Kazakhstan help?
Our projects are aimed at helping children who have lost their families or are at risk of being removed from them. Children who have lost adult care find new loving families in our Children's Villages. Families who are at risk of having their children removed receive help to overcome the crisis in our Child and Family Support Centers and the ACAP Center. And people planning to take a child into care receive training for a new role in our School for Foster Parents.
What expenses will my donation go towards?
100% of your donations will go to ensuring that our projects continue to help, and that children and families can continue to receive help from them.
In order for these projects to continue to work and help, we must pay specialists every month: parent-educators, psychologists and teachers. Single mothers in the crisis center need hygiene and food packages. Social workers need to pay for gasoline so that they can go out to consult with families who live far from the Child and Family Support Centers. And the premises where children and families live and receive help need regular repairs.
All these expenses make up the well-being of children and their hope for a happy future. A donation is your contribution to making it happen.
Why is regular donation important to you?
A child will not fill the gaps in education in one lesson with a tutor, and in one consultation with a psychologist, he will not overcome the trauma of breaking with his biological family.
The minute a child crosses the threshold of his new home in the SOS Children's Village, we take responsibility for his life, his childhood and his future until he grows up and is ready to continue his path independently.
That is why regular donations are so important to us - with them we can confidently plan our work, accept children into Children's Villages, take families in difficult life situations for support.
How can I be sure that SOS Children's Villages Kazakhstan can be trusted?
We maintain strict accounting and control of all financial transactions in accordance with national and international accounting standards. Every year we undergo a financial audit in accordance with the international requirements of SOS Children's Villages International.
Reports on our regularly published, you can always read them on the website.
How do recurring donations work?
Regular donations to us are a way to consciously and systematically make the world a better place, which does not require any effort from you. When you sign up for a regular donation to SOS Children's Villages Kazakhstan, the chosen donation amount will be debited from your card once a month and sent to help children. Helping is very simple.
Is it possible to unsubscribe from future donations?
You can always change the amount of your donation, the date of its debiting, or unsubscribe from it. To do this, you just need to contact us at (fundraising mail).
