East Kazakhstan's Amanat Keruen Brings Free Services to Rural Villages

A new social campaign called Amanat Keruen has launched in East Kazakhstan Region. The initiative aims to raise rural living standards by bringing essential services directly to residents. Free consultations, medical checks, and career advice were offered during its first event in Samarsky District. The opening session took place in Samarsky District, where specialists from the Ust-Kamenogorsk Oncology and Surgery Center conducted free health screenings. Ophthalmologists from Astana Vision clinic also attended, providing vision tests with modern equipment and personalised recommendations.

Representatives from government agencies, social services, and business support groups were on hand. They offered guidance on state services, welfare benefits, entrepreneurship, and grant opportunities. HIV/AIDS prevention talks and career counselling for school leavers were also part of the programme. Local residents welcomed the initiative, noting the convenience of accessing multiple experts in a single day. Zarina Kamasova, head of Amanat party’s women’s wing in the region, stressed the importance of such projects for rural communities. Zhanat Mekeeva, chair of the party’s regional branch, highlighted *Amanat Keruen* as a key effort to improve public service access. The campaign will run from May to July, visiting districts across East Kazakhstan. Organisers plan to cover every settlement in the region by the end of the schedule.

The Amanat Keruen project will continue touring rural areas over the next two months. Each session will provide medical checks, legal advice, and career support under one roof. Authorities expect the regular visits to ease access to services for remote communities.
