II. BOTA Foundation – Major Accomplishments of 2010 Maternal and Child Health In 2010, the BOTA Foundation provided over 3,200 impoverished, pregnant and lactating women with the financial means to access the medical support necessary to promote healthy pregnancies and live births. Mothers received over 60,169,200 KZT ($409,314 USD) in monthly stipends, as poverty alleviation assistance, to purchase nutritious food and medications. More than 300 communitybased volunteers provided over 120 trainings on maternal and child nutrition to pregnant and lactating women to ensure that they have the knowledge, skills and confidence to create a healthy future for themselves and their children. Early Childhood Development Over the course of the year, the BOTA Foundation has provided more than 5,000 impoverished children, aged 4 to 6, with access to critical early childhood development services which will promote socialization and academic success in primary school. BOTA grants supported the development of 12 alternative models of providing early childhood development services through NGOs, where govern- 4
ment pre-school services were unavailable. BOTA’s CCT program provided 66,241,800 KZT ($450,624 USD) to families that enrolled their children in ECD services to assist parents with the costs of attendance and supplementary educational materials. Child Protection The BOTA Foundation supported families to create and maintain healthy home environments for over 3,000 children with disabilities. These families received over 19,591,200 KZT ($133,273 USD) in poverty alleviation support. BOTA grants totaling 189,453,836 KZT ($1,297,508 USD) supported 22 community-based projects providing at-risk youth with abandonment prevention, foster-care and behavioral change intervention in order to increase their chances to live safe and productive adult lives. Positive Youth Development and Livelihoods From 2009 to 2010, the Foundation provided four-year higher education scholarships to 312 young Kazakhstanis from households with incomes 20% lower than the subsistence minimum on average. The program is intended to promote youth as a community asset to be nurtured and educated, and to encourage the employment of impoverished rural and urban youth. The BOTA Foundation’s 52 positive youth development grants provided training and educational opportunities to over 7,000 young people up to age 24. These opportunities are intended to equip youth with the skills, knowledge and positive attitudes to promote their entry into society as productive adults. 5
