Thanks to the financial support of the BOTA Foundation, we began holding training sessions on a regular basis throughout the year. The sessions were conducted by business trainer Galym Zhukupbayev, a specialist who received his education abroad and has conducted dozens of training sessions on financial and entrepreneurial literacy in Kazakhstan.
Our goal is to provide the children from the “Nur” Children’s Home and the “Kovcheg” Children’s Home with new knowledge and practical skills. A total of 150 children from both children’s homes were expected to take part in the program.
