On November 3, an Open Day was held at the Ainala Rehabilitation Centre in Shubarkuduk village, Temir District, Aktobe Region. The centre was opened in January 2026 with the support of Samruk-Kazyna JSC.
It provides comprehensive rehabilitation services for children with musculoskeletal and neurodevelopmental disorders, including autism spectrum disorder.
The event was attended by Alfiya Adieva, Director General of Samruk-Kazyna Trust Corporate Foundation; Galymzhan Yeleuov, Deputy Akim of Aktobe Region; representatives of local executive authorities, social service professionals, and parents of children with special needs.
The participants were introduced to the rehabilitation facilities and the work of specialized therapy rooms. Ainala serves children aged 3 to 18 and offers both day-care rehabilitation and 24-hour inpatient care. This is particularly important for rural families, who no longer need to travel regularly to the regional centre to access rehabilitation services.
Currently, 11 children attend the centre in Shubarkuduk. Its facilities include ABA therapy rooms, physical therapy and mechanotherapy halls, sensory integration spaces, a salt room, an immersion bath, and occupational and art therapy workshops. A multidisciplinary team of neurologists, psychologists, speech therapists, special education teachers, and physical therapy instructors works with the children. The comprehensive rehabilitation programme focuses on improving children's motor, communication, and social skills, as well as fostering greater independence.
During the meeting, Alfiya Adieva presented Samruk-Kazyna Trust's social projects in the region and plans for further development of social infrastructure. She also discussed the accessibility and quality of social services with parents and specialists.
With the support of Samruk-Kazyna Trust, five Ainala centres are now operating across Kazakhstan: in Bozanbay village, East Kazakhstan Region; Atakent village and Saryagash city, Turkistan Region; Shubarkuduk village, Aktobe Region; and Zhanaozen city, Mangystau Region.
The project is implemented by Samruk-Kazyna Trust in partnership with the Baquatty Aimaq Qory Foundation. It has been approved by the Ministry of Labour and Social Protection of the Population of the Republic of Kazakhstan and included in the 2026–2030 Action Plan for the implementation of the Children of Kazakhstan Concept.
From 2016 to 2026, Samruk-Kazyna Trust approved 32 social projects in the Aktobe Region, with a total investment of KZT 4.88 billion. The initiatives covered healthcare, education, sports, and support for socially vulnerable groups. More than 759,000 people benefited from these projects, and 248 jobs were created.
