The Halyk Charitable Fund Supports the ‘Inclusive Tourism’ Project of the Center for Social Inclusive Programs (CSIP) in Almaty

The format of the project itself represents a unique direction in Kazakhstan. As part of the initiative, the Center for Social and Informal Development (CSIP), with support from the Halyk Charitable Fund, organized four trips for children with special needs to the Yuzhny and Edelweiss recreation centers.

The project successfully implemented a model for interaction between children with autism, children with Down syndrome, and neurotypical children. Integrating all the children allowed them to communicate freely and learn from one another. Spending time together created a relaxed environment, enabling the children to see and accept each other regardless of their differences. This, in turn, helped build a true sense of community.

The children enjoyed a varied and engaging entertainment program at the summer camp. They participated in sports competitions, inclusive relay races, master classes, and more. All the children had a great time and fully enjoyed their leisure activities together.

The Inclusive Tourism project proved that all children are equal and can grow and develop together.
