Since 2003, we have been tirelessly dedicated to improving the well-being of communities in Kazakhstan, providing vital services such as food, education, healthcare, and shelter to empower children and families, creating a lasting positive impact on the region.
The Context
Kazakhstan, with its vast landscapes and rich cultural heritage, has faced multifaceted challenges that necessitated the intervention of NGOs like Cafs. Following the economic and social transitions that accompanied the dissolution of the Soviet Union, Kazakhstan experienced disparities in resource distribution and infrastructure development. Rural areas, in particular, grappled with limited access to essential services, hindering the overall well-being of residents.

Furthermore, issues such as poverty, inadequate healthcare, and educational gaps persisted, disproportionately affecting vulnerable populations like children and families. We have recognized these pressing needs and stepped in to bridge critical gaps, offering a holistic approach to address immediate concerns and laying the groundwork for sustainable development. By providing crucial support in the form of food, education, healthcare, and shelter, CACFS has played a pivotal role in enhancing the quality of life for individuals and families across Kazakhstan, fostering positive change in communities that needed it most.
