Our journey of compassion and hope
The dream and drive to help orphans started over 25 years ago with a short-term trip to Ulan Orphanage in Taraz, Kazakhstan. The vision grew, and as a result, Caring Heart was registered as a local non-profit in 2015 to provide assistance to those who grew up in institutional care, single mothers, and those disadvantaged.

Partner with us to make an impact
A community that is growing and thriving is a community where families are intact, work together to build a good life, care for one another and their children and seek to contribute to the betterment of the society.

Kamkor Zhurek changes people’s lives
Americans Victoria Charbonneau and Elizabeth Turnock launched Kamkor Zhurek (Caring Heart) in Taraz in 2015. The fund’s main purpose is to provide assistance to orphans, single mothers, children with disabilities and those who are disadvantaged.

A journey of love begins and ends in Kazakhstan
Eleven-year-old Saule Sadykova was delighted by the sight of the birds nibbling at the feeders in the backyard of the home in western Henrico County where she was staying temporarily.

Our Impact
The Kazakh statistics are staggering. Fewer than 10% of the children leaving the orphanages will ever build a life for themselves and 1/3 of them will die within the first five years.
