The Head of the office of the Assembly of the People of Kazakhstan of the East-Kazakhstan region, Askar Nurgaziyev, spoke with us about the objectives and tasks of the Club of Philanthropists:
“According to the Charities Law, the coordination of the activities of philanthropists should be done by the Assembly of the People of Kazakhstan. Only nine percent of the population of our country makes regular donations. All you, the founders of the Club of Philanthropists, are also among these noble people. You had done hundreds of good deeds. The Club of Philanthropists is a voluntary association that will bring together everyone who does charity on a regular basis. However, there are many other business people around us, and philanthropy still means nothing to them. Our goal is to bring as many potential sponsors into the Club as possible and make them understand that you cannot think only about yourself; that by supporting others we become better, cleaner, and richer version of ourselves.

The co-founders agreed that the objectives of the Club also include strengthening peace and harmony in the society; building Kazakhstan identity and nation-wide unity through charity with the project called “Big Country – Big Family”; and organizing charity events and promotions. The Club of Philanthropists will also establish a regional pool of sponsors and define the most active benefactors to include their names in the “Golden Book of Honor”.

Sergey Korotin was unanimously elected as the Chairman of the Club of Philanthropists with the Assembly of the People of Kazakhstan of the East-Kazakhstan region. In 2015, Mr. Korotin was honored with Kazakhstan most important Award of Philanthropy called “ALTYN ZHUREK” for his tireless care of veterans.

In conclusion, Askar Nurgaziyev addressed the founders:
Five members of the Assembly of the People of Kazakhstan, one deputy of the regional Maslikhat, and four deputies of the city Maslikhat are within the founders of the Club of Philanthropists. This is a great power! This year other social institutions were established with the Assembly of the People of Kazakhstan of the East-Kazakhstan region: Social Harmony Council, Mothers’ Council on fostering tolerant outlook in a family, and the Club of Journalists. They will all cooperate and complement each other.
