Dara Foundation is a non-profit charity that serves the unprivileged children. "Dara" mainly supports pediatric medical institutions, organizations for orphans and children with disabilities. Mostly, projects evolve around the cases when such children are beyond the help of their own families, state institutions, and other NGOs.
On 20
th June 2008, the country's first Donator-to-Education prize-awarding ceremony took place. It was held by the minister of education and science. Mr. Touimebayev said at the ceremony: "Donators-to-education - people with kind souls, loving hearts and open palms - do good things, for the sake of the future, help the country enhance the well-being of our people, create a world for children, demonstrating the generosity of their souls". Over thirty business people received the gold medals. Goulnara Dosayeva, the founder of the
Dara Foundation, was one of those. Since its establishment the foundation has arranged tens of events, tours, educational programmes for kids and held events for the orphans, attendees of boarding schools and little patients. The staff of the foundation hopes that the number of donating business people will increase in the future so that possible assistance is jointly rendered to the Kazakh education.
