The Halyk Charitable Fund has announced the results of the Halyq Ymiti social ideas competition. The total prize fund for the competition was 50 million tenge.

When reviewing the applications, the fund’s Board of Trustees evaluated the relevance and significance of the social issue, the feasibility and scalability of the project, the expected social impact, and the innovativeness of the proposed solutions.
The Board of Trustees of the Halyk Charitable Fund also considered the results of the public vote held on the competition website and selected 50 ideas from all regions of the country through open voting.
Each winner will receive a cash prize of one million tenge. The fund commented:
