A socially significant charitable initiative, within the framework of which in 2021, food assistance will be systematically provided to low-income families, large families, and families with children with special needs in all regions of the country.
In 2021, the Halyk Foundation initiated a large-scale charity event. To help compatriots in the fight against the consequences of COVID-19, the Halyk Foundation, with the support of partners, distributed more than 100 thousand food packages weighing more than 50 kg each to families in difficult situations throughout Kazakhstan. The total amount of assistance amounted to more than 2 billion tenge.
On the eve of Kazakhstan’s Independence Day and in anticipation of the New Year, the Halyk Charity Fund continued its kind tradition, launching a charitable campaign across all regions of Kazakhstan. A total of 20,000 families nationwide received food packages—over 1 million kilograms of essential products worth 520 million tenge. Families in need received 50 kg packages containing rice, buckwheat, flour, pasta, vegetable oil, canned meat, sugar, tea, and a New Year’s candy set.
Systematic support was provided to low-income, large families, as well as families with children with special needs who found themselves in a difficult financial situation. About one thousand volunteers throughout Kazakhstan joined the campaign. These are mainly socially active young people, many of whom support the Foundation’s initiatives not for the first time.
In July 2021, as part of another charitable campaign, the Halyk Fund was able to assist 20,000 families across Kazakhstan. The total amount of aid provided exceeded 500 million tenge. Food baskets were given to families in need who had previously received support from the Fund. Each package contained essential items: rice, buckwheat, flour, pasta, vegetable oil, canned meat, sugar, tea, and candies—50 kilograms of products per family, totaling over one million kilograms of food. Distribution of the packages was carried out by volunteers according to lists provided by regional akimats.
The participants of the campaign strive to do good deeds, changing the lives of our compatriots for the better. By regularly supporting needy citizens with food products, the Halyk Foundation gives people the opportunity to direct their funds to other urgent needs of their children and families.
On the eve of Nauryz 2021, the Halyk Charitable Foundation launched a large-scale charity campaign. The Halyk Fund purchased food packages for low-income families, large families, and families with children with special needs who found themselves in difficult financial situations due to the COVID-19 pandemic and related quarantine measures. Together with businessmen and companies, the Fund organized and assembled 38,665 food packages across 17 regions of Kazakhstan, totaling 999.4 million tenge.
The campaign was supported by prominent businessmen and companies in Kazakhstan, including Kairat Boranbayev, Daniyar Abulgazin, Dias Suleimenov, Kenes Rakishev, the National Lottery “Satti Zhuldyz,” the AYALA Charitable Foundation, Eurasian Resources Group Holding, the Bulat Utemuratov Foundation, and the Kazakhmys Corporation.
Each package contained essential items: rice, buckwheat, flour, pasta, vegetable oil, canned meat, sugar, tea, and candies—50 kilograms of products per family, totaling over 2 million kilograms of food. The initiative received immediate support from volunteers across the country, who ensured the food was delivered directly to recipients. Packages were distributed according to lists provided by regional akimats. To assess the needs of the population, surveys were conducted with over 20,000 families who received assistance.
In 2023, the Halyk Foundation held a campaign and distributed 3,000 food packages to needy families in the city of Zhanaozen, as well as in the Almaty region.
