Ulukbek`s story:
Ulukbek lives in a close-knit family with his mother, father, and young niece. Two years ago, the family experienced a great loss when Ulukbek’s older sister passed away. Since then, his mother has taken on the care of her granddaughter, providing love and stability in the midst of hardship.
The family rents a small two-room apartment and does not own a home. Ulukbek’s father works as a landscaper for a private employer, while his mother is unable to work due to ongoing health issues affecting her knees and kidneys. As a result, the family lives on a very limited income and faces daily financial challenges.
Ulukbek has a mild intellectual disability and difficulties with memory. He attends a boarding school, where he receives educational and corrective support. With additional sponsorship, Ulukbek will be able to access extra lessons, higher-quality educational resources, and essential corrective programs that will support his learning, personal growth, and overall development.
