About Us

Public Foundation for Social Development and Innovation "Ashyk Kogam"

A non-profit organization registered on July 4, 2025 in the city of Uralsk.

The name "Ashyk Kogam" translates from Kazakh as "Open Society," reflecting our core idea: transparency, accessibility, and active civic engagement.

In Kazakhstan, socially vulnerable groups often lack access to quality professional consultations. At the same time, many citizens are unaware of their rights and do not understand how to effectively interact with government agencies. We established this foundation to change that.

«The idea of creating the eKenes.kz platform appeared when I was pregnant. We needed a doctor consultation — an alternative opinion.
