DECENT LIFE FOR DISABLED PEOPLE

Project Mission:
To raise the level of self-realization of people with limited capacities, to create decent life conditions for them, to organize unobstructed access to objects of social infrastructure, to create conditions for rehabilitation and integration of disabled people into society.

Main Project Objectives:
1. To provide free access for all needed people to objects of social infrastructure and to significantly improve their life quality by organizing Invataxi special car parks for rendering free transport services to people having special moving difficulties, first of all to wheelchair persons. Equipped with special lifting appliances, such cars make possible for a wheelchair person to get into the passenger compartment without much effort and the need to change seats;
2. To provide people with difficulties in moving with the possibility to activate and integrate into society. The ability to move will allow people with limited capacities to actively participate in social life including the possibility to work. Special attention should be given to children, who can attend schools, developing centers and cultural events;
3. To form adequate mindset of citizens of Kazakhstan regarding problems of people with limited capacities.

Problem Definition
Do we see in our day-to-day life people with limited capacities and people in wheelchairs in the streets? Very rarely. But this fact does not mean that the number of such people is little. About 40,000 people with limited capacities live in Almaty including over 2,000 children. If a healthy person managing personal problems can use a car, taxi or public transport, for a disabled person, having problems with musculoskeletal system, this type of moving is impossible. It is connected both with a high cost of a trip and the difficulty in the loading of a wheelchair. In connection with such enforced confinement within the walls of their own houses, disabled people cannot go out to places common for ordinary people such as a shop, hospital, bank let alone a theatre, cinema and museum. Also they are deprived of the possibility to work and study, to take part in cultural events that means they are completely isolated from society, and which destroys not only their moral welfare, but violates guaranteed constitutional rights.

Project Realization Plan:
Taking into account the whole difficulty of the problem, Saby Charitable Foundation carried out its own monitoring and came to the conclusion of the necessity to arrange special car parks for the transportation of wheelchair people in cities of Kazakhstan. Cars equipped with special lifting appliances will allow a wheelchair person to get into the passenger compartment without much effort. The ability to move will allow people with limited capacities to take part in society life which is especially important for children who can attend schools, developing centers and cultural events.

Project Actions:
1. To purchase specially equipped cars for transportation of people with limited capacities and donate them to disabled people societies in Kazakhstan cities for further exploitation (Executor – Saby);
2. To purchase special ladder lifting appliances for bringing wheelchairs up and down the stairs in buildings and constructions and to equip Invataxi cars with them (Executor – Saby);
3. To organize Invataxi car parks and dispatch services in Kazakhstan cities employing disabled people who can work (Executor – Societies of Disabled People of Cities of the Republic of Kazakhstan);
4. To form material and technical basis of dispatch services organized on the basis of Invataxi services including supplying of computer equipment and software support for the automatization of handling of orders for transportation of wheelchair people and prepare reports on expenditure of budgeting funds (Executor – Saby);
5. To finance the activity of organized Invataxi services in Kazakhstan cities (Executor – municipal akimats (authorities) of Kazakhstan cities).

Project History:
In order to realize scale projects, in June, 2008, in Almaty city, Saby Charitable Foundation in cooperation with Art Exhibition Direction arranged the Art Nomad Exhibition, the main task of which was to attract the attention of society to problems of disabled people as well as to introduce to foreign guests visual and applied art of Kazakhstan. The visit of this event by the Chairman of Christie’s Auction House Lord David Linley allowed to carry out the next stage of the project – a charitable auction and exhibition at Christie’s Auction House in London. This event was held in October, 2008 and became significant not only for the Foundation but for our whole country because it opened to the world one of the constituent of the culture of Kazakhstan. At such high level Kazakh art was exhibited for the first time. The auction and exhibition raised almost 1,000,000 US dollars. All funds were transferred for the purchase of first 20 equipped Invataxi cars of Volkswagen mark.

Project Financing:
Project financing is carried out at the expense of voluntary contributions made by benefactors through Saby Private Charitable Foundation Non-Profit Organization.

Expected Results
Gradual realization of this Program will allow disabled and non-mobile people to overcome current limitations in life activity, to increase the index of integration of disabled people into society, to increase the level of social protection of disabled people, to reinforce material and technical basis of social institutions for creating conditions for the realization of potential and possibilities of disabled people, to improve qualification of social services institutions staff, to create premises for the formation of adequate mindset of Kazakhstan citizens regarding problems of disabled people.

«SPORT-HEALTH-ACHIEVEMENTS»

Project Purpose:
1. To create conditions for pupils of child welfare social institutions in Kazakhstan to do exercises and to go in for sports, and to develop Olympic and national sports as well as peoples’ games;
2. To form a healthy life and principles of an active longevity among pupils;
3. To enhance occupation of children and the youngsters by providing sports leisure activities for the purpose of offence prevention.

Scenario of the Project Implementation:
1. To build sports-grounds and tot-lot areas equipped on an up-to-date basis at child welfare social institutions;
2. To involve pupils in systematic exercises and sports;
3. To activate interaction between the physical education & sports associations (including federations) and sports clubs and the pupils of child welfare social institutions.

Problem Definition:
Currently Kazakhstan has received increasing attention to the development of sports both generally around the country and in the educational system. However only 56.5 % of general education institutions of the Republic have standard sports halls and 14.9 % of once have sports halls duly adapted. A scope of exercises done at secondary education institutions is 3 – 4 times less than the applicable standards require. To reach a scheduled and scientifically proven level of physical activity, one should increase the number of exercises and provide a training process with sports equipment.
Unfortunately, out-of-class health & fitness and sports & mass activities during extracurricular hours have failed to develop. The number of children and the youngsters, who are subject to different cold-related and chronic diseases is still increasing owing to a low physical activity.
The importance of sport for pupils of child welfare social institutions is particularly difficult to overestimate. Indeed, often such children have nothing to occupy their leisure with. As a result, there is a dawdle, which leads to disappointment, hooliganism and even immorality. To engage children especially upperclassmen in useful things after studies is becoming an important task. And sport promotes in the solution of many problems.

Primary Tasks:

1. Physical education of preschool and primary school-aged children

Task Definition:
The basic vital motor skills develop at the tender age of children, a child learns to properly walk, sit, stand, do the simplest exercises, orientate itself in space, take physical conditioning procedures, and gets into the habit of everyday physical exercises and sports activities, which are the basis of a healthy life. Arrangements for physical education of children require exercises with them by way of games, as a rule, in the open air, and a constant updating of the content thereof. Exercises are to be based on a various physical training, which increase functional capabilities of children and develop all physical functions of the human body. The leading scientists in pediatry and physical training & sport recommend physical activity for not less than 10 – 12 hours per week for the said age group.

The primary directions in the solution of the task are as follows:
– to set up tot-lot areas “Ksil” at child welfare social institutions with more than 15 preschool and primary school-aged children to do exercises outdoors (Organization in Charge – Saby Charitable Foundation);
– to develop and introduce training and game programs for physical education of preschool and primary school-aged children at institutions (to be performed by the administration of orphanages and boarding schools);

2. Physical education of senior school-aged children

Task Definition:
Physical education is to promote development and improvement of children’s basic motion functions, their physical development and health, and education of a conscious need in a healthy life.
Physical education of senior school-aged children is to develop their high need in systematic physical exercises and sports activities. It necessary to introduce extracurricular exercises subject to the interests of children in different sports and systems of exercises. During classes, one should teach to rationally use factors of nature, to combine work with rest, to give a grounding of physical training, self-massage and safety rules, combination of volumes and intensity of exercise loads, a proper performance of exercises and succession thereof, and to give necessary theoretic knowledge about the physiological make-up of the body, and the hygiene of exercises. A recommended scope of active exercises and sports activities for children of this age category is not less than 8 – 10 hours a week.

The primary directions in the solution of the task are as follows:
– to build, at child care social institutions, up-to-date sports grounds equipped, on a multi-purpose basis, to go in for different sports (in particular, five-a-side, voleyball, basketball, handball, and court tennis) (Organization in Charge – Saby Charitable Foundation);

EDUCATION PROJECT

Project Mission:

Creation of conditions for fosterlings of children social institutions of Almaty city and regions of the Republic of Kazakhstan for successful adaptation in modern society after leaving boarding schools.

Terms of Project Realization:
Constantly ongoing project

Problem Definition:
The basis of orphancy as a social phenomenon is social economic instability of society, deterioration of families’ financial situation, failure of principles, devaluation of moral values. The major part of orphaned children is brought up in boarding schools. Time passes, young men and girls leaving boarding schools have to choose profession to become competitive in society and to survive in the complicated world of adults. Teachers and psychologists of boarding schools and educational institutions do their best in the main thing – to help a young person occurred in difficult life situation to understand who he/she is in this world, to define himself/herself as an individuality, to find his/her place in life and to understand its value and comprehensiveness. Many techniques and state support programs for school leavers have been developed to solve these tasks; they receive assistance in solving social adaptation issues and selecting a place of education and work.
However, the problem is so complex, that without joint efforts of society and state, it is impossible to solve it.

Project Realization Stages:

1. First Stage

Task Definition:
Children from difficult families in the very beginning of their life receive a hard emotional shock and great negative experience. Their childlike mental outlook is strongly distorted and adequate social skills have not still formed. They know almost nothing about life in civilized society but are very familiar with habits of that complex atmosphere in which they have been living for a long time. Being foster children of boarding schools, they dream to live a normal life, want to be good and do much for this. However, after having left boarding schools or hostels, children often return to unfortunate atmosphere; school leavers even dispose sufficient assets to begin an independent life but cannot manage them rationally. After long years passed in social security, yesterday foster children are often not ready for an independent life. They do not know their rights and cannot protect them, incapable to accept individual responsible decisions and achieve set goals.

Ways of Solution:
1. Organization of meetings and consultations of teenagers in boarding schools with invited specialists (doctors, psychologists, religious representatives, etc.) whose task consists of modeling different life situations and teaching teenagers to correctly overcome them. Introducing children to society traditions by organizing entertaining educational activities.
2. Organization of psychological trainings and workshops for employees of boarding schools (social teachers, psychologists, tutors) for the application by them of the received knowledge and skills in work with children.

2. Second Stage

Task Definition:
Leavers of boarding schools face the choice of a profession, prepare to enter universities and colleges the same way all young people, desiring to get an education, do. The task is getting complicated by the fact that leavers of boarding schools often do not know how to achieve their goals in practice.
Ways of Solution:
Activities aimed at successful entrance of leavers of boarding schools to educational institutions. This includes: psychological questioning of children, discussions on professional orientation, choice of an educational institution and study of entrance rules. Meetings are held with interesting people who achieved definite life positions by their own efforts.

3. Third (Main) Stage

Task Definition:
In state colleges, professional lyceums and schools, where leavers of board schools enter by orphan quotas, as a rule, the list of professions is limited and not always meets desires and abilities of a teenager. It is unlikely that having entered to study an unpleasing profession, he/she will study well and actively take part in the social life of the educational institution.

Ways of Solution:
Financing of educational grants in higher and secondary education institutions by Saby Charitable Foundation allows children to choose independently both a future profession and an educational institution which will help their further integration to adult life. The Foundation enters into an agreement with an educational institution and completely pays for the education of a student.

Project Financing:
Project financing is realized at the expense of voluntary contributions made by benefactors to the Non-Profit Organization of Saby Private Charitable Foundation.

Expected Project Results:
Successful integration of former foster children of boarding schools to modern society by acquiring social skills as well as a well-deserved on-demand profession.
