In our world, many regions of which are characterized by a large gap between rich and poor and a lack of social mobility, you can find many examples of how people, armed only with their intellect, abilities and hard work, reach unprecedented heights in their development. They not only inspire people around them and the new generation by their example, but they are well aware of the importance of supporting children, youth and ensuring access to quality education. Having lived their lives, realizing their own potential, they best understand that every talented and persistent child will always be helped by helping him develop his potential and creating a "foundation" that will open up new opportunities for him and lead him to achievements in various areas of life.

One of the excellent examples of such a benefactor is a well-known philanthropist and entrepreneur of Uzbek origin. Fattakha Shodieva, who was born and raised in the Jizzakh region in the central-eastern part of Uzbekistan. From a young age, realizing the importance of education and hard work, he threw himself into preparing for admission to MGIMO and, despite the highest competition among the most talented guys from all over the USSR, he passed the competition and entered. To this day Fattah Shodiev thanks his alma mater MGIMO for the knowledge, skills and friends for life.

It is from this gratitude for the formation of his personality that a huge number of initiatives by Fattakh Shodiev and his charitable foundation grow - International Chodiev Foundationaimed at unlocking the potential of youth - financing educational and scientific activities MGIMO, a huge contribution to the targeted development fund MGIMO, annual scholarships for talented students. Those who understand how knowledge becomes the strongest foundation for human success do everything to make it available to as many people as possible around the world.

Helping the youngest members of society in need of inclusion is one of the main principles of charity Fattah Shodiev

One of the groups almost deprived of social mobility is children with disabilities with special needs and children without parental care. In the CIS countries, the issue of full-fledged care of such children and the issue of their full integration into the educational and social systems is especially acute. Many government agencies responsible for these children, since perestroika, have experienced financial difficulties, a lack of staff, and a lack of public attention to important issues of inclusiveness. What is the likelihood that a child who faces difficulties and obstacles at the most basic level will be able to access a full-fledged education and realize themselves as a specialist and personality in the future? This is where philanthropists play a very important role, not only providing important financial support for medical and educational processes, but also setting an example for other philanthropists, giving hope to children and drawing public attention to certain groups of children and the institutions responsible for them.

In addition, an integrated and regular approach to the issue is important, because the greatest benefit from assistance comes when the charitable initiative is constant, not one-time, and when it gives stability and focus on results. This approach is based on the activities Fattakha Shodieva, and in this vein the work is carried out International Chodiev Foundationwhich supports institutions for children with disabilities and children without parental care in Russia, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and Ukraine. Fattah Shodiev personally supervises projects related to children, and for several decades has been helping the Litvak Children's Rehabilitation Center in Odessa, the Specialized Children's Home in Nur-Sultan, orphanages, schools and boarding schools for children with health problems and disabilities in Uzbekistan, and many children in need of payment for treatment or educational support.

With these funds, children's institutions are able to purchase medical equipment, improve housing conditions, update educational and sports classes, pay for the work and professional development of the necessary specialists, purchase equipment and things that children need. Undoubtedly, any help, especially constant and meaningful, provides every child with the opportunity to have a full-fledged childhood and learning. Any member of society can play a role in this, regardless of his capabilities, because the most important thing is human indifference and a desire to contribute to helping those in need.
