The chairman of Menin Atamekenim NGO Lyazzat Chingisbayeva told about the distribution of funds.

"When people return their homes and have Internet access, we will receive videos and photos of houses from the affected people to see and understand the consequences and the amounts needed to eliminate them. Naturally, a special commission will be created, which will include representatives of the Chamber of Entrepreneurs and the Regional Council. The commission will make decisions on the distribution of the collected funds. We offer the residents of Arys to visit our website atamekenim.kz and register a request for help. In this way, the Committee will be able to see what specific assistance a particular family needs. As we receive requests, we will make analysis so that everyone who has transferred money to us can see that their distribution is efficient and purposeful. We are accepting applications, which the residents of Arys send via smartphones," she said.

Meanwhile, the entrepreneurs continue to provide support to victims. The enterprises of Turkestan and Shymkent are particularly active.

Some entrepreneurs, including members of the Regional Council, have undertaken to repair destroyed houses. I know a lot of businessmen who have made a significant contribution and do good deeds anonymously," Nurlan Kabishtayev, director of the Shymkent Chamber of Entrepreneurs, said.
