Fund raising for foreign treatment of Kazakhstan children, who suffer from diseases which are untreatable in Kazakhstan, continues.

‘Give Life To Children’ joint campaign of DOM Foundation and Saby Foundation was started in 2007 and is not limited in time.

During this period by means of SMS 2,642,616 USD have been raised, 376 children have secured assistance.

From year to year the situation in the sphere of health care in our country works out for the best. Issuance of state quotas has become more effective and transparent. Many diseases, which formerly required applying for foreign clinics, now, are successfully treated in our country.

Nevertheless, the quantity of children, who need urgent help from foreign doctors, are still great. The fact that the quantity of people, who are ready to help children is not a few, is very pathetic.

We express our sincere gratitude to all not indifferent people and remind that by means of SMS sending with 1 number from your telephone to 8099 number you will transfer 280 KZT on the special account of ‘Give Life To Children’ Campaign.

Probably, many people know the feeling when working week starting only on Monday morning ends already by Friday evening. Time is so fast that sometimes when trying to catch it we lose sight of simple things but at the same moment such important things and ordinary miracle is left unnoticed.

One sweeping day a woman with her wonderful daughter sat in a crowded bus.The little girl’s cheerful babbling and rolling laughter brightened all around; passengers melted by her sagacity and smartness. The little girl’s face seemed to be very familiar and her smile was remembered quickly. It was Dilnaz. Recently the articles about the little girl, her parents and how the family got to know about their single daughter’s disease, and the most important thing, about the victory over disease thanks to several successful surgical operations financed from the special account, which accumulates the contributions of philanthropists, were published on the site of DOM Foundation (www.detdom.kz), a partner of Saby Charitable Foundation with “Give Life to Children” Campaign. Now Dilnaz fells well, her parents are joyful of her achievements, all sufferings were left behind as a frightening dream.

Five years ago Asel Tasmagambetova, President of Saby Charitable Foundation and Aruzhan Sain, Director of Mercy Volunteer Society put into realization the scale project of charitable contributions by means of SMS for treatment of Kazakhstan children, imagined the following picture: healthy children and happy parents.

By the present time, at the expenses transferred by you, our friends, 436 operations have been paid, 375 children have received assistance. Total amount of contributions constituted USD 2, 568, 842. Is this not a miracle, for the sake of which it’s worthwhile to stand only for a minute and to think, maybe to participate in its realization and to run easily farther?

In order that such sunny moments in life would be more often, subscribers of ACTIV, KCELL and BEELINE may help to save little children by means of SMS messages, sending ‘1’ or a wish to brief number 8099, the sum in the amount of 280 tenge will be charged off the balance of a mobile telephone in favor of a nice little person.

Saby Foundation wishes the little citizens of our country Happy International Children’s Day!

Although June 1 is not a day-off, it’s widely celebrated in Kazakhstan by arranging festivals and fundraising campaigns.

The SMS Project “Give Life to Children”, implemented by Saby Foundation in cooperation with Voluntary Charity Society, has been giving aid for over five years to the children with serious illnesses who do not have any possibility to get a surgical treatment within our country. Thanks to the efforts of thousands of people, the fundraising campaign gained 2.29 million dollars, and nearly four hundred operations of 357 children from all the regions of our Republic were performed.

The SMS method of beneficent aid offered by us in 2007 gives an opportunity to everyone to do his/her bit for saving children. ACTIV, KCELL and BEELINE subscribers can send number ‘1’ or a wish to the short number 8099 and the sum in the amount of 280 tenge will be transferred from their phone account for the benefit of an unfamiliar lovely little angel. As folk wisdom says – “There are no other people’s children”.

May children’s laughter be heard in every house and June 1 last all year round!

Five years ago exactly, in February 2007, the Campaign “Give Life to Children” was launched jointly by the Dom Foundation and the Saby Charitable Foundation.

Today, having passed a five-year milestone and summing it up, we may state that the arrangement of this Campaign was a logical step in the development of the Kazakh society. A great number of children requiring urgent surgical treatment abroad, and insufficient state quotas allocated for this purpose, especially in the field of cardiac surgery and oncology, became a starting point at that time. And proposed method of providing charitable assistance through short messages gave an opportunity for almost every citizen of Kazakhstan to participate in saving the children’s lives. Over these years the amount remitted to a special account amounted to more than $2 million. 345 children from all the regions of Kazakhstan have received assistance in the medical treatment.

Now the Campaign “Give Life to Children” has also other ways of fundraising – online-transfers, bank transfers and donation boxes, but the most simple and accessible way is SMS. ACTIV, KCELL and BEELINE mobile phone subscribers can send a number “1” or a request to the short number 8099 and the amount of KZT 280 will be deducted from the account of their mobile phone in favor of a strange, but so close child.

We thank all those who extended a helping hand to our children!
