Kazakh businessman, philanthropist, director of KazAzot JSC Baharidin Ablazimov will contribute 500 million tenge on his own behalf and on behalf of employees to the account of the Kushimiz Birlikte business support fund – "Strength in Unity".

"Dear compatriots, dear brothers and sisters, today is a day of mourning. We have lost many citizens of our country. I would like to express my deep condolences to the families of the victims and my sympathy to the wounded. Thanks to the measures taken by the Head of State, peace and stability are gradually reigning. Now, having heard that the fund has been opened, I consider it my civic duty and on my behalf, on behalf of my employees, I want to provide financial assistance in the amount of 500 million tenge," said Bakharidin Ablazimov.

Baharidin Ablazimov was born in the Krasnaya Zvezda state farm in the Zhetysai district of the South Kazakhstan region. According to him, his father died at the age of 13. Mom was left alone with ten children, mopping the floors at the Zhetysai bakery in the afternoon, and working at the factory in the evening.

"As Kazakhs say, where there is unity, there is harmony and well–being. Thank God, I have achieved a lot thanks to him. In Almaty, canteens, shops, hairdressers of small entrepreneurs were destroyed and burned. I urge you to unite and rebuild the country together. I believe that wealthy citizens will support the Atameken initiative. I urge you to show the Kazakh people to the whole world from the best side. Let's come together. Let's gather under one flag. Our strength is in unity," Baharidin Ablazimov urged Kazakh businessmen to allocate money to the new fund "Kushimiz Birlikte" – "Strength in Unity".

It should be noted that these funds will be allocated after the commission's decision to both entrepreneurs in Almaty and other regions whose facilities were looted and destroyed. All financial transactions will be digitized, and the Fund guarantees transparency of the funds received and distributed.
