Kyrgyzstan provides housing and mortgage support to orphanage graduates

President Sadyr Japarov announced that Kyrgyzstan will provide temporary housing to graduates of orphanages to support them during their studies and vocational training.

The government allocated two large houses in the capital, Bishkek, and in Kara-Suu for this purpose. Currently, about 30 young people live in the Bishkek house and 10 live in Kara-Suu. These arrangements ensure that graduates do not lose their shelter while they focus on obtaining an education or mastering a profession.

The president also stated that orphans receive 500,000 soms for a mortgage loan down payment upon turning 18. These individuals can access this assistance without waiting in the general queue at the State Mortgage Company. Japarov signed a decree to amend the Menin üýüm state housing program, allowing these graduates to participate in the program as soon as they reach adulthood.

These measures aim to help young people start independent lives and avoid the lack of resources that previously led some to face legal trouble.
