Build a house
Baspana is working towards improving conditions for poor people. One of their projects is to provide decent housing to Almaty’s many homeless people. One aim of the project is to teach homeless people how to work with the authorities in order to raise awareness of their problems. Another aim is to help poor people to build houses based on a “do-it-yourself” method.
Self-help groups for women
The other organisation, Moldir, is mainly working towards improving poor and vulnerable women’s conditions in Almaty. Moldir is strengthening the women’s position by mobilising them into self-help groups and by providing access to micro credits. Together with the women, they also lobby local and national authorities.
