The Kulibayev Foundation Will Fund Gasification of Homes in Almaty

The Halyk Charity Foundation, founded by Timur and Dinara Kulibayev, has launched a new stage of a social infrastructure project aimed at improving the quality of life of socially vulnerable groups in Almaty.

In cooperation with the city’s energy and water supply department, the fund will finance free gas connections for about 200 private homes. The list of recipients includes large families, single pensioners and people with disabilities for whom independent gasification is impossible for financial reasons.

“The Halyk Foundation implements long-term socially oriented projects aimed at solving the basic needs of the population. Connecting to gas is a key infrastructure task, and we are happy to assist in solving it for Almaty families,” emphasized Nariman Abilshaikov, Managing Director of the Halyk Foundation.

Support Worth 200 Million Tenge

Gasification will be carried out on a turnkey basis: residents will not incur expenses for purchasing equipment, meters, radiators and other necessary components. Financing in the amount of 200 million tenge (about 450 thousand dollars) was provided with the support of Halyk Bank.

The project is being implemented in partnership with the city authorities. The Department of Energy and Water Supply forms lists of participants based on the official status of socially vulnerable groups of the population (SUSN).

First results

The program has already made its first results known. Svetlana Puzikova, a mother of many children from the Alatau region, became one of the first whose house was connected to gas.

“It seemed impossible before. Now the house will be warm – and that changes everything. Thank you to everyone involved,” she shared.

From 2021 to 2023, Halyk Bank has already financed the connection of 315 houses for about 300 million tenge. The new wave of the project continues the strategic line aimed at systemic support for urban families in difficult life situations.

The foundation emphasizes that the initiative is being implemented with the support of Timur Kulibayev, who consistently advocates an institutional approach to solving social problems.

“This is not charity in the traditional sense – it is a working model of targeted assistance, synchronized with government priorities,” the statement said.
