In Shymkent PetroKazakshtan started to take care of the Sairam Orphanage #4 in 2000, after it had purchased the Shymkent Refinery and appeared in South Kazakhstan Oblast. Sairam Orphanage was founded in 1957 for the orphans and children left without the parental care.  It has been already 10 years since the company is fathering the orphanage by allocating the funds for purchasing of clothes, blankets, toys, computers and many other things. In 2004 the company financed the construction of a gym and the equipping of that gym with various sport equipment. In 2006, on the eve of the Child Protection Day, the company granted a playground to the orphanage, in 2008 - a bus for 25 seats, and in 2009 it provided support for purchasing of necessary furniture for the orphanage.

Currently the Sairam Orphanage educates and brings up more than 160 children. The coteries that have been established for children and are functioning on a voluntary basis include arts, dancing, chorus, sewing, woodwork and locksmith shops, which are developing children and helping them obtain practical skills that will be useful to them in their future independent life. All conditions for living and all-round development of the children were created again with the company’s participation and include arrangement of computer class rooms and a library with 14,200 books. On the orphanage site there is an oil mill and a macaroni plants, a bakery, a shop for tailoring of leather goods, a hairdresser’s saloon, a bath and laundry complex and a household plot that includes 24 ha of irrigated lands and a farm.

For more than 15 years in a row PetroKazakhstan also provides sponsorship to its warded humanitarian and aesthetic gymnasium No.65 named after Altynsarin. The assistance includes carrying out of repairs and purchasing of necessary training materials. Thus, in 2009 a support in amount of 1 million KZT was provided to repair the school hall. Annually many graduates of this school become winners of the Altyn Belgi award and many of them study on government scholarships at prestigious universities inside and outside the country. The gymnasium won a Grand prix in such nominations as The School of the Year and The Nest of Knowledge in the competition arranged by the RK Ministry of Education. The school was numerous times awarded with diplomas and merit certificates of the RK Ministry of Education.
