Housing for studies and financial assistance
According to the President, two specialized houses have been allocated in Bishkek and Kara-Suu. Orphans who have completed secondary education or higher and are continuing their studies to gain a profession can reside in them.

Funds are allocated to orphans to be used as a first installment for a mortgage.
"Previously, children were left on the streets after leaving orphanages. On the streets, they turned to crime, including theft, which led to them being taken into custody. [...] Now, the state takes care of such children"
