Empowering Abilities: Integrating Abai’s Holistic Human Philosophy in Entrepreneurial Training for Disabled Entrepreneurs in Kazakhstan

Faculty Development Competitive Research Grants Program 2025-2027

The ‘Empowering Abilities: Integrating Abai’s Holistic Human Philosophy in Entrepreneurial Training for Disabled Entrepreneurs in Kazakhstan’ project focuses on advancing entrepreneurial training for current and potential entrepreneurs with disabilities across Kazakhstan. It aims to develop 100 current and aspiring disabled entrepreneurs as master trainers in ten strategic locations. These master trainers will then disseminate their knowledge to an additional 500 people with disabilities, substantially expanding the impact and reach of inclusive entrepreneurship practices. The initiative places a strong emphasis on inclusivity, ensuring that disabled entrepreneurs are fully engaged and benefit from the training. Integrating the philosophical insights of Abai Kunanbayev, the project enhances the cultural relevance of its approach, aligning entrepreneurial practices with local values and traditions. This strategic integration seeks to foster ethical leadership, promote sustainable business practicess, and drive significant socio-economic growth throughout the diverse communities of Kazakhstan.
