About us

Beeline Kazakhstan's corporate fund “Zhyly Zhurek Foundation” was established in November 2023.

Our social responsibility policy is focused on achieving long-term results and is implemented through

three key areas:

Empowering country’s Education system
Kazakhstan needs acceleration of educational system. For 10 years a significant proportion of 15-year-old Kazakhstani students have failed to pass the functional literacy level – PISA. The main reason is the gap between city and rural schools. We focus on creating conditions for the maximum number of people to receive a quality education.
Emergencies
Recurring emergencies are forcing us to broaden the focus of our philanthropy and social responsibility. Our customers need to be connected with loved ones during challenging times.
Diversity & Inclusion (D&I)
Our products and services need to be accessible for everyone. We need inclusive culture across all levels (from our service to websites and digital apps development) that embraces and celebrates all kinds of differences.
