More than 27 million tenge have been raised thanks to the charitable mechanic "Helping Together" in the Yandex Go service. These funds are aimed at ensuring equal educational opportunities for children in the regions of Kazakhstan, reports the website infohub.kz.
Yandex Qazaqstan has summed up the first results of this initiative. Donations made by users and the company itself have helped attract teachers to schools facing a shortage of educators, create an inclusion support room for children with autism in the Akmola region, and train additional robotics and programming teachers.
As part of the project, three organizations received financial support: Teach for Qazaqstan, Bolashak Charity, and Robotek Foundation, which implement educational programs for children in various regions of the country.
The collected funds have already allowed attracting new teachers to schools where there was a shortage of staff. For example, in the Karaganda region, three participants of the Teach for Qazaqstan program have started working. Over two years, they will teach more than 500 schoolchildren. Their students are already participating in international projects, speaking in English, receiving educational grants, and becoming winners of olympiads.
The Bolashak Charity Foundation directed the received donations to create an inclusion support room at the school named after Aktan Toleubayev in the Akmola region. In this room, students with mental development features will be able to study individually with correctional teachers.
In turn, Robotek Foundation trained ten robotics and programming teachers. They will be able to teach engineering skills to more than 300 schoolchildren annually and prepare them for republican and international competitions.
The charitable mechanic "Helping Together" was launched in December 2025. It allows users to donate regularly by simply making trips and ordering deliveries. In the "Helping Together" section, the user chooses the donation amount – from 10 to 1000 tenge. After that, the selected amount is automatically added to the cost of each order in Taxi and Delivery when paying by bank card. Yandex Qazaqstan doubles the collected funds and sends them to the KAMEDA fund, which distributes them equally among Teach for Qazaqstan, Robotek Foundation, and the Bolashak Charity fund.
Currently, you can enable "Helping Together" in 25 cities of Kazakhstan where Taxi and Delivery services are available. The subscription can be disabled at any time in the menu on the left side of the screen.
