East Kazakhstan's Amanat Keruen Brings Free Services to Rural Villages

A new social initiative called Amanat Keruen has launched in East Kazakhstan Region. The campaign aims to raise rural living standards by bringing essential services directly to residents. Free consultations, medical checks, and career support were offered during its first event in Samarsky District. The opening event took place in Samarsky District, where specialists from the Ust-Kamenogorsk Oncology and Surgery Center conducted free health screenings. Ophthalmologists from Astana Vision clinic also provided vision tests and consultations at no cost.

Representatives from government agencies, social services, and business organisations were on hand. They offered advice on public services, financial grants, entrepreneurship, and social support. High school graduates received career guidance, while HIV/AIDS prevention information was also shared.

Zhanat Mekeeva, chair of Amanat party’s East Kazakhstan branch, stressed the project’s importance for rural communities. Zarina Kamasova, head of the party’s women’s wing in the region, noted that such initiatives help bridge gaps in access to services. Local resident Gulnara Mazhibayeva praised the campaign for delivering multiple services in a single day.

The Amanat Keruen campaign will continue across the region’s districts from May to July. Organisers plan to hold regular events in different areas during this period. The initiative brings together medical, social, and professional support under one programme. Residents in rural areas will receive free access to services that are often difficult to obtain. Further events are scheduled throughout the summer to reach more communities in East Kazakhstan.
