In the village of Topar, Abai District, Karaganda Region, the social and environmental project “Inclusive Alley: Garden Therapy and Barrier-Free Family Recreation”, implemented as part of the “Development of Civic Initiatives in Rural Areas” project, has been successfully completed.

The initiative brought together more than 80 participants and provided a platform to support children and young people with disabilities and their families, while also promoting an inclusive environment and civic engagement.

The project was implemented by the Tamasha Adam Association of Persons with Disabilities through a small grant, with the support of the Ministry of Culture and Information of the Republic of Kazakhstan and coordinated by the Center for Support of Civil Initiatives.

One of the first activities under the project was an environmental campaign. Participants planted lilac seedlings and took part in improving the village. The campaign brought together people with disabilities, their family members, volunteers, and local residents.
