The program covers the entire process, from initial consultations to the final installation of gas-heating systems by qualified contractors.

Bulat Utemuratov Foundation Funds Almaty Residential Gasification
The Bulat Utemuratov Foundation has earmarked 460 million tenge—approximately $1 million—to accelerate the transition of private homes from coal to natural gas. This partnership with the Almaty Akimat aims to mitigate the city’s persistent winter air pollution by streamlining infrastructure connections for local residents.
Ainur Karbozova, CEO of the Foundation, described the funding as a commitment to modernizing urban infrastructure and improving daily living standards for families currently reliant on solid fuels. This initiative aligns with the organization’s history of civic projects in the region, including the reconstruction of the Almaty Botanical Garden, upgrades to the National Central Museum, and the establishment of the Asyl Miras Autism Centers.
