Babushka Adoption!
About us
We believe that every elderly person is important and that it is possible to defeat poverty with the help of others. That's why we help the most vulnerable elderly in Kyrgyzstan, through the support of sponsors since 1999. You can help in the fight against poverty and social isolation, by simply clicking

MISSION
Our mission is to give love, hope and dignity to the elders, a vulnerable group of people who were particularly affected by the socio-economic crisis in Kyrgyzstan after the collapse of the USSR.
VISION
Our vision is to be an influential organization that improves the lives of elders from social and financial perspective, implement mobilization of elderly people and to bring awareness among people.
OUR VALUES
Our key values are providing good service, respecting the elderly and fully supporting people in need. We highly value the time and care that is given by our contributors to our beneficiaries and foundation.
Why are we so effective?
We offer a wide range of high standard services and provide 900 elderly the chance to participate actively so they themselves are able to improve their life.
COMMUNICATION BETWEEN SPONSORS AND BENEFICIARIES


We link our sponsor with a babushka (grandmother) or dedushka (grandfather). You may connect with them through letters, which we translate for you, or even visits. It provides so much happiness to the elders, when they realize that there are people who think and care about them.
TRANSPARENCY IN EACH ACTION


Honesty towards beneficiaries and sponsors is our top priority. We guarantee transparent budgets and accounts of all our activities and communicate regularly about it. Mutual agreement and open dialogues are very important to us to improve the interest of our target group.
LOYALTY FROM EACH CONTRIBUTION


The feedback from our sponsors and beneficiaries is of real value to us to improve our cooperation with them. We have around 600 sponsors from all over the world, from who have been loyal to Babushka Adoption for many years.
Why should you give?
A good deed
Poverty is unfair! Certainly one of the two elderly in Kyrgyzstan suffers because of poverty. This means that they cannot buy enough food, medicines or doing something fun, like going to a museum. By adopting an elderly person, you give him or her the chance of a life without poverty. Sharing your well being with the beneficiaries brings the needy elderly and yourself much happiness.
Taxes are deductible
In most countries your gifts and sponsorship are deductible by the tax office for a certain percentage. Babushka Adoption can provide a letter for companies who support elderly people through Babushka Adoption in order to get this deduction. In the Netherlands, Babushka Adoption works together with stichting Elnura. So for Dutch sponsors, gifts are tax deductible when they transfer money through stichting Elnura.
A good example for others
A world without poverty - is that possible? Not even fifty years ago, poverty was seen as a necessity, hunger would make people work hard, and low wages would be needed for economic growth. But since this image has been reversed, a world without poverty seems suddenly feasible. We are sure that your support will influence the behavior of others and slowly the society will change!
