Report

When Aliya and her daughters Amina and Yana ended up on the street, it seemed like there was no way out. But thanks to you, everything changed. Your donations not only helped Aliya get back on her feet, but also supported the work of the temporary accommodation program. In March 2025, the work of the program manager was paid, who helps families in crisis situations on a daily basis. Aliya went through a difficult path: - With the help of a lawyer, I formalized alimony and the division of property. - I got Amina into a correctional group at a kindergarten. - I mastered a new profession, found a job and rented an apartment. - The children, thanks to psychologists, are communicating with their father again. “I learned to be strong,” says Aliya. “Now I know: we can handle it.” Your donations are not just money. These are saved families. For the first quarter of 2025: 🔹 2 families received temporary housing 🔹 4 children stayed with their parents, avoiding separation Thank you, Tooba users, for giving a chance for a new life!

About the campaign

Help Aliya and her children who have been left without a home

The story of Aliya and her children could have ended in tragedy, but thanks to SOS Children's Villages, the family has a chance for a new life.

Aliya is raising two daughters, Amina and Yana, but the last year has been a challenge: her husband's problems with work, the children's deteriorating health, and constant conflicts. When the situation reached its limit, Aliya filed for divorce and the relationship in the family became even more tense.

One day, Aliya and her children found themselves on the street. She rented an apartment with her savings, but the funds did not last long. Fortunately, the teachers at the school where Yana studies suggested that she seek help from SOS Children's Villages. Here, the family received not only a roof over their heads, but also help from psychologists and social workers.

Currently, there are 2 families with 4 children in the temporary accommodation program. In order for us to continue helping such families, we need your support. Your donation gives children a chance to stay with their parents and avoid boarding schools.
