Inspiring success stories from the JumpStart initiative

The JumpStart project gives women entrepreneurs a powerful launchpad and the necessary tools to develop socially significant ideas: participants receive professional expertise in marketing and technology, register legal entities, and secure investors. 📈

The outcome is sustainable startups that tackle pressing societal challenges — from inclusion for children with special needs to environmental campaigns — all of which collectively contribute to economic and social growth in Kazakhstan’s regions. 🇰🇿

As of now, 20 social projects have already begun their launch. Over the course of two months, participants studied under experts in social entrepreneurship, marketing, and technology. Their ideas range from ecology and employment for people with disabilities to inclusive education and services for children with special needs. 🌱

Some entrepreneurs already had an operating business and sought to scale it, while others started from scratch and managed to register a legal entity during the program. 🌎

☁️ For instance, student Tomiris Aldabergen (20) realized her dream by opening an inclusive theater in her region. According to JumpStart co-founder Aliya Sabitova, the main objective is to provide women entrepreneurs with support and tools for growth.

These 20 startups will contribute to the development of Kazakhstan’s social sphere: from environmental initiatives to inclusive educational centers.
