In Kyrgyzstan, starting from January 1, 2027, one-time payments under the "Bala Bereke" program will be launched, benefiting around 11,000 mothers. This was reported by Adel Joomartova, the chief specialist of the state benefits department of the Ministry of Labor, Social Protection, and Migration, in an interview with the Kabar agency.

Although the presidential decree on the program came into effect on January 1, 2026, payments will only be made once the child reaches one year of age. Therefore, the first money transfers will begin in 2027.

This program is designed for mothers living in high-altitude areas who have given birth to a fourth child or subsequent children. The amount of the one-time payment varies depending on the order of birth: from 100,000 soms for the fourth child to 2 million soms for the tenth and each subsequent child.

To receive the payment, the applicant must have lived in the specified area for at least two years before submitting the documents.

Applications for the funds can be submitted within six months after the child turns one year old. Payments will be transferred to the mother's bank account.

The ministry also noted that in the case of twins or triplets being born during the fourth childbirth, such children will be counted as fourth and subsequent, and payments will be made for each child separately according to the established amounts.

According to data from the National Statistical Committee, in 2024, 1,900 mothers who gave birth to four to ten children were registered in the country.
