Over two hundred educational establishments in Atyrau Oblast are subscribed to the National Geographic Kazakhstan journal, which broadens the students’ horizon. The Consortium gives a lot of support to the indigent and disadvantaged groups of population in Atyrau Oblast; KZT 16.1 were allocated towards those purposes in 2018. As part of the traditional charity program “New Year together with CPC-K”, 140 children from poor families and orphans received New Year gifts - warm clothes and winter footwear.
In the current year, CPC-K continues to implement strategically important social projects.
