Support 26 000 children with palsy in Kazakhstan

Hello!

We are pleased to share with you information about the work done by our foundation over the past few months. Currently, we are preparing to launch a new project that will be aimed at supporting low-income families from vulnerable segments of the population in which children with cerebral palsy are brought up. 

The main objective of this project is to create a food bank and provide food baskets to these families. We strive to help them free up funds for additional needs and improve their quality of life. 

As part of the preparatory work, we turned to our wards to understand their needs and their difficulties. We called 600 families and visited the homes of our 70 wards to understand their needs more deeply. Work in this direction will continue. 

We would also like to express our sincere gratitude to our long-term partner, the Sheraton Hotel, for their generous support. They provide food baskets and bedding sets for our wards, which helps needy families raising children with disabilities.  

We are currently actively working on the final organization of the project. The support and kindness of the benefactors give us confidence in the successful implementation of this initiative. 

We sincerely thank you for your support and faith in our mission. With your help, we can bring positive changes in the lives of many families and children who need our help.

With best wishes,

the team of the Kasietti Zhol Foundation

Hello!

It's time, to sum up the results of the work of the Kasietti Zhol Foundation, conducted from February 2023 to May 2023.

We wrote to you earlier that we are gradually ending our activities within the framework of providing affordable rehabilitation assistance to children with neuro-orthopedic disorders from low-income families and orphanages. We are closing all rehabilitation centers "Kasietti Zhol", because the model of our centers is recommended by the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Kazakhstan for state centers. To date, 22 such centers have been opened, and 38 more are planned to be opened. Thus, a network of centers is developing in the regions of Kazakhstan, gradually covering the need of the children's population for comprehensive rehabilitation services. The transfer of the model of rehabilitation centers to the state is one of the main results of our project.

Another result is the assistance of 8,148 children with cerebral palsy from all regions of our country who have been rehabilitated in our centers since 2014. This number of children and families got a chance to improve their quality of life. As a result of the work of our team of specialists and parents, 977 children began to walk, and 1831 uttered their first words. We are grateful to everyone who contributed to our project.

During the reporting period, together with our benefactors, we continued to support the families of children with cerebral palsy.

Today we will tell you about the celebration of International Children's Day. Our old friend Sheraton Hotel Astana organized the event for children and their parents. The day before, the hotel staff collected food baskets and took them to the families of our wards. And on the day of the holiday, the hotel’s general manager invited 50 families of our Foundation to the hotel to decorate cupcakes with cream and powders together, draw on paper, and then a delicious lunch from the chef was offered.

Most importantly, they provided an excellent opportunity to meet children and their parents, have fun and have a good time, and understand that the world is KIND.

We appreciate your support, and we say "Thank you" from the bottom of our hearts!
