Fundraising Event "Charity Samruk Marathon": Approximately 200 million Kazakhstani tenge raised for creating accommodation facilities for children with special needs.
🏃♂️🏃♀️ Gearing Up for the Inclusive Revolution: The III Charity Samruk Marathon
In 2025, the III Charity Samruk Marathon didn't just break a sweat, it also broke records! This year, the marathon attracted an impressive crowd of 3,000 participants—not only employees of the Fund's Group of Companies, but city residents, entrepreneurs, doctors, teachers, athletes, and children. These enthusiasts gathered to run, embrace unity, and champion a noble cause.
The marathon boasted over 50 powerhouse partners standing shoulder to shoulder with the runners. Together, they raised a mind-blowing 200 million tenge. This treasure trove will be used to open 10 new inclusive classrooms in Astana schools, giving around 1,000 children with special educational needs a chance at a quality education.
Marathon enthusiasts from JSC "Kazakhstan" have been clocking miles for this race annually, with 50 telecommunications specialists joining the action this year. In fact, they've got two victors to boast about! Alexander Bespalov, a seventh-grade cable splicer from ODS, stormed the finish line in the 10km distance. Close on his heels was Galina Dmitrieva, the leading engineer from ODS, who secured second place in the 5km distance.
Last year, the III Charity Samruk Marathon collected 127 million tenge, enabling the opening of five inclusive classrooms and offering more than 150 children with special needs a place to learn each day. Now that's a phenomenal feat!
But just what does the III Charity Samruk Marathon stand for? Well, let's take a quick look at the impact charity marathons usually have on supporting children with special needs and promoting inclusive education.
Charity marathons are essentially community events aiming to gather funds and shedding light on specific causes. Participants include runners like you and me, neighbors, businesses, organizations, and everyone in between.
One of the key ways charity marathons support children with special needs is by raising cash for resources and services tailored to their needs. Additionally, these events generate widespread awareness about the importance of inclusive education and the challenges faced by children with special needs. Furthermore, they foster a more supportive and inclusive community.
The III Charity Samruk Marathon is, of course, no exception, advocating for inclusive education and using their hard-earned funds to develop educational resources, facilities, and programs specifically designed for children with special needs.
So, whether you're a runner or simply a supporter, the III Charity Samruk Marathon invites you to join the inclusive revolution and stride towards a brighter future for children with special needs in Kazakhstan! 🏁💪
