Representatives of government agencies, public organizations, and businesses attended the opening ceremony, as well as the project initiators - Aydin and Anara Rakhimbaev, along with well-known Kazakhstani philanthropists Bauyrzhan and Gulkhana Isabaev, and Samat Daumov.
Previously, a pilot center operated in Bishkek, which served as a testing ground for a year. During this period, the team established cooperation with government institutions and social services, as well as welcomed the first mothers with children. The pilot project proved its effectiveness and laid the foundation for the creation of a full-fledged center.
In the new center, mothers will be able to temporarily live with their children, receive psychological, legal, and social assistance, restore documents, and search for jobs. The main goal of the project is to help mothers through the crisis, keep their child close, get back on their feet, and become independent.
The project is implemented with the support of the international fund Mother's Home International Foundation, which has been working for over 13 years in the field of preventing social orphanhood.
As of today, the fund's network includes 32 resource centers in various countries:
- Kazakhstan - 20 centers;
- Uzbekistan - 8 centers;
- Kyrgyzstan - 2 centers;
- Ukraine - 1 center;
- Malaysia - 1 center.
Kuduret Kaariyev, founder of the construction company "Nurzaman," noted that the systematic approach of the project has become a key factor for its support.
Thus, the initiative that originated in Kazakhstan is gradually forming a regional coalition of Central Asian businessmen united by a common mission - to achieve the absence of orphans in the region.
About forty entrepreneurs from different countries are involved in the development of the project, each of whom has a significant influence in their field. Within the framework of this initiative, the borders between states become insignificant, uniting participants around a common idea: the problem of orphanhood in the region must be addressed through joint efforts.
Aydin Rakhimbaev emphasized that the contribution of entrepreneurs makes the project sustainable.
“Progressive businessmen from Central Asia are joining the initiative, and a community of business leaders is forming, ready to work together towards the goal of creating a region without orphans,” he added.
Philanthropists emphasize that this is about long-term investments in the future of Central Asia, not just charity. Support in difficult times helps keep the child in the family and gives the mother the opportunity to start a new life.
In the long term, this is an investment in the development of human capital for the entire region. Every child raised in a family will become a specialist, entrepreneur, teacher, doctor, or engineer who will contribute to the economic and social development of Central Asia.
