Safekaznet project has entered the social initiatives competition organized by “Reach for Change”. The creation of a website directed at searching for missing kids on the territory of Kazakhstan became the idea that has been represented on the competition. The idea arises from the fact that nowadays there is a database in our country which includes a few thousand of missing adolescents and young children. With the creation of the website, which will include photos and information about these children, members of civil society will be able to follow the information and quickly report if they have any data about a missing child. In addition, it is planned to implement the technology of the photo creation that allows to understand how a child may look like at the moment. This is especially actual for cases dealing with children who have gone missing for a long time.
Reach for Change is a non-profit organization founded by the group of companies Kinnevik. It aims to improve the quality of life of children and adolescents and observance of their rights. The Fund searches for and supports individuals, companies and organizations whose activities are aimed at improving the lives of children and adolescents. The Fund holds an annual competition for social entrepreneurs in order to find interesting ideas and choose one of the potentially successful ones.
Through information campaigns, Reach for Change increases the level of public awareness and promotes social entrepreneurship as the best tool for the implementation of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child.
