In par-ticular, the author examines the laws of the Republic of Kazakhstan and other countries in the context of comparing the provision of state assistance to alumni of orphanages, as well as scientific publications and newspaper articles. The total number of orphans in the Republic of Kazakhstan is twenty million children. On June 8, 1994, the Republic of Kazakhstan ratified the Convention on the Rights of the Child. In this Convention, the child has the right to life, the right to citizenship and a name, the right to express his opinion, protection from the government. In the Kazakhstan there are several organizations and legisla-tions, which support orphans who over eighteen, in other words the graduate of the orphanage. They are the house of youth, housing and education legislations, and non-governmental organizations. The House of Youth, like the Children Village of Family Type, is the part of the international organization, which is called SOS Kinderdorf. This house accepts the students of children’s villages and graduates of orphan-ages, residential boarding schools for orphans and children left without parental care. Furthermore, there are non-governmental organizations like, association of legal entities, “Association of Graduates of Or-phanages in Kazakhstan”, and “Jastar Uyi” (Home of Youth), which is center for adaptation and support of graduates of social institutions. These kinds of organizations help graduates. Although Kazakhstan provides some assistance to graduates of orphanages, or orphans over 18 years of age, it is nevertheless necessary, according to the author, to make some changes and increase assistance to reduce problems and challenges that alumni faces on the daily basis. |
