Health care
In the healthcare sector, we pay special attention to increasing the availability of medical and rehabilitation care, using modern treatment approaches, and improving the quality of life of Kazakhstanis. In particular, 13 centers are launched in 2023: 7 early intervention centers, 5 centers for children with autism and other mental disorders and 1 rehabilitation center.
More than 500 children with cancer received treatment using modern equipment at the Scientific Center for Pediatrics and Pediatric Surgery.
As part of the “Give Children Life” project, the foreign treatment of 61 children whose diagnoses are incurable in Kazakhstan was paid for.
Often, there are no hospitals in remote villages, and not all residents can travel to the districts. For several years, we have been supporting the “Medical Trains” project to provide free medical and legal assistance to residents of remote villages. In 2023, assistance was provided to about 100 thousand citizens. The medical train ran through 121 remote stations in all regions of the Republic of Kazakhstan. Until 2023, the train consisted only of doctors; this year, mediators and lawyers joined the train.
Free adaptive sports clubs have been opened in 23 settlements, and more than 1,100 special children attend them.
Education
In education, we are working to create equal conditions and opportunities for obtaining quality education and developing human potential.
As part of the projects we support “Tugan elge sayahat”, “All ability camp”, “Summer without borders”, summer educational and sports-inclusive camps were organized for more than 1000 children and their parents.
Also, as part of an environmental educational project to cultivate the ecological culture of the population and form a new type of environmental consciousness among the younger generation in the East Kazakhstan region, an eco-laboratory has been created based on the regional library, which is equipped with equipment and a kit for studying the air, water, and soil of the city.
Sport and culture
Thanks to social projects in the field of sports, modern sports infrastructure is appearing in the regions. In 2023, 3 large sports complexes were built in Kostanay, Kyzylorda and North Kazakhstan regions.
As part of the development of the creative industry, the building of the regional youth library of the Aktobe region was completely updated and revitalized into a creative center for science and modern creativity.
Support for socially vulnerable segments of the population
As part of the Republican charitable project “Road to School,” assistance was provided to 15,000 first-graders. When distributing social assistance, priority was given to needy residents of rural areas. Volunteers and employees of the Fund Group carry out the delivery and handing out gifts.
Corporate volunteering
The Fund’s group of companies has the SK Volunteer League, which unites all employees of the group of companies who are not indifferent.
Volunteering is carried out in four areas: Qamqor — care for people in need, Umit — public volunteering, Asyl mura — assistance in preserving the history of Kazakhstan, Taza Kazakhstan — contribution to the preservation of nature.
We also try to respond to emergencies. For example, in 2023, the Fund allocated KZT 200 million to the victims of fires in the Abay region. The funds were used to provide humanitarian aid to residents of evacuated settlements and to specialists involved in firefighting.
