On the occasion of the International Children's Day, Bakcell - the First Mobile Operator and the Leading Mobile Internet Provider in Azerbaijan, has organized a festive event for the children in need for special care.

Approximately 100 children fostered by the "United Aid for Azerbaijan" and "SOS Children's
Village"have participated in the special entertainment program.

Children in need for special care are constantly in the spotlight of Bakcell's Corporate Social
Responsibility programs (CSR), carried out within the frames of partnership with various
organizations.

Within the frames of the "ICT Academy" project implemented in association with SOS Children's Villages, courses on computer literacy, accounting 1C, job interview skills, CV composition, cell phone and computer repair, audio video recording and other very useful trainings were organized in the special training rooms of Baku SOS Children's Village, equipped with technical facilities.

Bakcell, paying special attention to the corporate social responsibility programs, has implemented several successful projects over the last year. 20 children with different degrees
of disability have participated in trainings aimed at developing computer skills and knowledge
within the frames of "A Way to Inclusion through Equal Opportunities" project implemented
jointly with "Sport for Development" Organization. The trainings were held at the Caucasus
Research Resource Center of the Khazar University and served as a basis for the integration
of children with disabilities to the institution of higher education for a period of 3 months. The
next phase of this project implies the provision of Assistive Computer Technology (equipped to
satisfy the special needs of children with disabilities) to secondary schools providing inclusive
education and Child Development Centers functioning in Azerbaijan.
