About Kerim's Dream
Our Founder’s Journey
Kerim, the founder of the charity, was born and raised in Kyrgyzstan. From an early age, Kerim faced significant hardships that shaped his passion and resilience. As a child, he lost his father and later his elder brother, two figures who meant the world to him. These tragic events left a profound mark on him, inspiring his commitment to ensuring no child or family faces such struggles alone.
​
Determined to overcome life’s injustices, Kerim found solace and purpose in sports. He dedicated himself to becoming a professional boxer, achieving remarkable success and earning recognition in the global boxing community. Throughout his career, Kerim carried a vision: to use his victories not just for personal glory but to make a lasting impact.
​
After retiring from boxing, Kerim turned his focus toward fighting two of the most devastating diseases affecting children: cancer and diabetes. With this goal in mind, he established the Kerim's Dream Foundation.
Our Mission
At the Kerim Charity Foundation, our mission is to support children battling cancer and diabetes by providing resources, care, and hope for a healthier future. We aim to:
-
Help children access medical care and emotional support.
-
Increase awareness about cancer and diabetes prevention.
-
Build a world-class hospital in Kyrgyzstan to provide specialized care.
Our Vision
We envision a world where every child has access to the care and support they need to overcome cancer and diabetes. Our goal is to:
-
Build a future free from the fear of these diseases.
-
Ensure no family has to suffer the heartbreak of losing a child to preventable or treatable conditions.
-
Empower communities with the knowledge and tools to prevent and manage these illnesses.
Our Inspiration
Kerim’s personal journey fuels the foundation's work. His story of loss, resilience, and triumph over adversity is a testament to the power of hope and determination. Every step we take is guided by Kerim’s commitment to creating a brighter future for children worldwide.
“I made a promise to myself as a young boy: no child should suffer alone. I am committed to fighting for those who need it most.”
— Kerim, Founder of the Kerim Charity Foundation
Our Goals
We are working tirelessly to:
​
-
Build a hospital in Kyrgyzstan: A dedicated facility for children battling cancer and diabetes, equipped with modern technology and compassionate caregivers.
-
Expand our support network: Offering counseling, resources, and financial aid to families.
-
Educate and empower communities: Raise awareness about early detection, prevention, and management of these diseases.
Our Team
The foundation is supported by a dedicated team of volunteers and advocates all driven by a shared passion for making a difference.
Why Kyrgyzstan?
Kyrgyzstan holds a special place in Kerim’s heart because he is originally from Kyrgyzstan. Despite its beautiful culture and landscapes, many families in the region lack access to quality healthcare, particularly for chronic diseases like cancer and diabetes. By building a hospital and strengthening support systems, we aim to transform healthcare in Kyrgyzstan and create a ripple effect of positive change across Central Asia.
