About elderly we serve

Babushka Adoption supports the most vulnerable elderly people in Bishkek (capital) and Batken district of the Kyrgyz Republic.

The identification and selection of the most vulnerable elderly people is carried out by our social workers with the support of an independent commission of experienced people working in the social sector. Our social workers conduct needs assessments by visiting the elderly applicants at their home. The assessments take into account the applicants’ work experience, health condition, housing situation, family status and value of pension, and are then measured against Babushka Adoption Foundation’s criteria:

  • Aged over 65 years old
  • Monthly pension less than 2100 Kyrgyz SOM (~EURO 42), which is average pension
  • No family support (i.e. childless; have disabled or pensioned children; or children have left Kyrgyzstan and do not provide support)
