The new fund Kazakhstan Halkyna has received more than 13,000 requests. People want the fund to buy them housing and vehicles, pay for wedding banquets and other family events, and even repay loans, said the fund press service.

According to Alibek Abdilov, an official spokesperson in the Kazakhstan Halkyna fund, there are several key priorities for the entity such as supporting families that have adopted disabled babies, children with diseases or behavioral problems.

Another focus of the fund is supporting families of law enforcement officers and military personnel who have died or have been wounded while on duty to protect the territorial integrity and the national security of the country.

The fund recognizes that many people in Kazakhstan may face various problems including financial difficulties. However, the entity is not able to solve all of them.
