Tasty Help By ‘O!Cafe’ Restaurant

By | Charitable Campaigns

Tasty Help By ‘O!Cafe’ Restaurant Notwithstanding the continuing economic instability many domestic companies, realizing their social responsibility, engage in different kinds of philanthropy.

Young businessmen show the highest activity suggesting their ideas in favor of charity. The perfect example is the active and creative team of ‘O!Cafe’ Restaurant, the restaurant of healthy organic food. Guests of the restaurant from the large assortment of healthy tasty dishes can enjoy fresh biscuits baked on the recipes of clients, who attended the restaurant earlier and inspired with the idea of a healthy life.

But the main idea is to transfer all proceeds from sale of this unique product to the current account of Saby Foundation with the aim of realization of social projects on support of orphan children, children left without parental care, children from social vulnerable groups and disabled people of the Republic of Kazakhstan.

All volunteers can take part in this charitable act and by means of one package of biscuits by ‘О!Cafe’ make their own contribution for the improvement of people’ lives, who need it especially.

Useful Gift for Boarding School

By | Gifts of the Foundation

Useful Gift for Boarding School Recently foster children of Boarding School #1 of Almaty city, who attend carpenter hobby group, were gifted by our Foundation with perforating machine, disc electric saw, rubbing machine, jigsaw and spare parts. These work tools became additional to already purchased before New Year two kits of carpenter tools.

We decided to give boys an opportunity to vary their kinds of activity. Indeed, the skill to manage with house tools handily will help future men to develop their own independent living conditions, these skills could not have come at a better time when search for a job. Perhaps, some boys will choose the profession of furniture maker, carpenter or a woodworker. Meanwhile young masters try to make boot shelves for the whole boarding school.

Early labor training is the important part of socialization and adaptation into society for graduates of boarding schools. That is why Saby Foundation tries to reply only to such requests of the management of institutions and present only ‘useful’ gifts.
