Tengizchevroil LLP (TCO) has donated modern sports equipment and a minibus to the Kazakhstan Para Volleyball Federation to support the development of parasports and the national team’s preparation for upcoming international competitions.
As part of this initiative, the Federation received internationally certified Molten volleyballs, professional poles and accessories, rehabilitation equipment, and a minibus for transporting the team and the necessary equipment.
The official donation ceremony process took place with the participation of national team athletes, Federation representatives, local government officials and TCO leadership team.
TCO General Manager of Policy, Government and Public Affairs Aibek Krambaev, highlighted: “For TCO, supporting parasports is part of our long-term corporate social responsibility strategy. We see our mission not only as being a leader in the oil and gas industry, but also as contributing to development of human potential, inclusion and sustainability in the area where we operate. We strive to help people in areas such as education, sports, ecology and healthcare. We believe that the sports equipment we are handing over today will make training more effective and help athletes prepare for new victories.”
Kazakhstan’s national para volleyball team is one of the global leaders in the sport, competing in the elite division A. The team has a rich history of achievements:
In 2023, TCO became a general sponsor of the Asian Championship qualification games in para volleyball which was held in Astana from July 3 to 8. At that home tournament, the national team won silver and secured its first direct qualification for the Paralympic Games since 1996.
TCO has traditionally supported social and sports initiatives that promote inclusion, healthy lifestyles, and equal opportunities. Since 1993, TCO has invested over $3.6 billion in various social projects for the population of Atyrau Oblast and its employees.
