This message is addressed to all of you who are not indifferent to the recent events, which took place in Kyrgyzstan on April 6-7-8, 2010. We are turning to you with a request to join us in our efforts to help victims of these horrible events. As you know from the news, 81 people were killed and 443 people were wounded. Out of 443 wounded, 65 are still in intensive care and in desperate need for medicines and special treatment.
UK efforts are coordinated by Karachach Sadybakasova, Edil Ajibaev, and Saina Otorbaeva.
EU efforts are coordinated by Zarina Osmonalieva.
USA efforts are coordinated by Aibek Hakimov.
Kyrgyzstan efforts are coordinated by Aselia Kasenova.
We promise to ensure transparency in all our actions. Here is how we will work:
FUNDRAISING: All teams will be working towards raising funds via local bank accounts. Funds will be then transferred to NGO “Students In Free Enterprise” in Kyrgyzstan, which has been functioning since 2003 and has set up a separate bank account at the international bank for this purpose.
AID: Distribution of funds will be carried out by the Kyrgyzstan team via NGO “Students In Free Enterprise”. All transactions will be documented and financially reported.
BENEFICIARIES: The list of beneficiaries will include the wounded, families of the killed, vulnerable members of our society directly or indirectly affected by the events on April 6-8, 2010. The team held negotiations with the local association of NGOs and will be cooperating with its members, which collect specific information about various groups of victims in order to ensure coordinated and effective approach in distributing aid.
REPORTING: The Kyrgyzstan team will report to donors, justifying each of its decisions on placement of funds. Reports will be published online on a monthly basis. Financial reports will be checked and audited by a group of independent professional auditors (who have volunteered to do the audit) before closing the fund.
NB: Any donor has the right to request to view any supporting financial documents at any time.
We would like to ensure our donors in our sincere aspiration to help our country fellows. We will appreciate any help. Your participation will mean a universe to those who will receive your support.
TOGETHER WE SHALL STAND.
