Halyk Foundation: People’s Favorite Award and Key Initiatives for 2025
On January 16, 2025, the national Khalyktyn Suyiktisi (People’s Favorite) award ceremony took place in Astana—one of Kazakhstan’s most prestigious forms of public recognition. The Halyk Charitable Fund, founded by Timur Kulibayev and Dinara Kulibayeva, was honored with the Patron of the Year award for its outstanding contributions to regional development and social initiatives.
The Halyk Foundation always strives not only to provide assistance, but to create platforms for sustainable development. We are proud that our work contributes to building a strong and harmonious society,” said Galymbek Zhaksylykov, a representative of the Fund.
Why a Systems Approach Matters
The Halyk Charitable Fund places special emphasis on supporting regions in need. In 2024, targeted assistance was delivered to the Atyrau, Kostanay, and Mangystau regions, where the Fund focused on long-term development rather than one-time aid.
Key Initiatives in 2024
In response to devastating floods, the Fund allocated a record 31 billion tenge in 2024—most of which supported residents of Kulsary. In recognition of this effort, Timur Kulibayev was awarded by the President of Kazakhstan in June 2024.
Other major infrastructure projects included:
- Restoration of the Beineu grain terminal
- Installation of a desalination system for the villages of Akshukur and Saina Shapagatov
- Modernization of schools in the Mangystau region
- Construction of a kindergarten for 280 children in Auliekol
Plans For 2025
In 2025, the Halyk Charitable Fund will continue to focus on regional development through:
- Expansion of the Auyl Sport program to promote youth sports in rural areas
- Construction of new sports facilities
- Projects aimed at improving quality of life in underserved communities
Why 2025 is Important For The Halyk Charitable Fund
The year 2025 marks a strategic shift for the Halyk Charitable Fund—from one-time charitable acts to building sustainable platforms that inspire systemic change. Each initiative is designed not only to deliver immediate benefits but also to serve as a model for other organizations to follow.
