ALMATY, Kazakhstan,
May 21, 2024 /PRNewswire/
-- Bulat Utemuratov's Group has donated around $30 million to support residents of the regions
in Kazakhstan affected by some of
the worst flooding in a century. The donation, comprising
$24.2 million from Bulat Utemuratov's
Foundation, a $4.5 million
donation from Beeline Kazakhstan and RG Gold, and a $1.1 million donation from Alidar
Utemuratov, will be used to provide financial support, restore
vital infrastructure and rehouse local residents who have been left
homeless in the Aktobe and Akmola regions.
Over 440 families displaced by floods in the Aktobe region
and 50 families in the Akmola region will receive keys to their new
homes in the coming months. Last week, the Bulat Utemuratov
Foundation handed over 34 houses to the affected families in
towns located in the Aktobe region including Kobda, Uil and Alga.
This week 31 families in the Aktobe region and 20 families in the
Akmola region will receive keys to their new homes. The whole
process of the transfer of houses and apartments in both regions is
set to be completed by the end of August
2024.
Bulat Utemuratov commented: "The state is working
hard to return thousands of our fellow citizens affected by the
flooding to normal life as soon as possible, and our task is to
support these efforts in every possible way. I am pleased we are
already making a difference, with families in the Aktobe and
Akmola regions receiving new homes and more to follow
soon."
Humanitarian relief is a key tenet to the Foundation's work and
is evidenced across the efforts of its portfolio companies. The
Foundation's Aid Card project continues to provide financial aid to
people in areas affected by floods, fires, and dam failures. Last
year, the Foundation donated $5
million to victims of the earthquake in Turkey, along with $1
million to support families of victims of the Kostenko mine
disaster.
