On September 13, 2025, another clean-up was organized in Shymkent as part of the nationwide environmental campaign "Clean Kazakhstan". This time, employees of the Youth Resource Center and volunteer youth jointly carried out sanitary cleaning work on Turkestan Street, one of the most important streets in the city.

The main goal of the campaign is to increase the ecological culture of the population, form responsibility for environmental protection, and ensure the active involvement of young people in socially beneficial activities. The "Clean Kazakhstan" initiative has been traditionally held in our country every year. It is aimed at beautifying cities and villages, cleaning streets and yards from garbage, and improving green areas.

The Youth Resource Center staff mobilized young volunteers for the Sabbath and accomplished a lot of work in one day. They collected household waste accumulated along Turkestan Street, cleaned up the roadsides, and also helped to improve the area by mowing grass and whitewashing tree stumps.

The activity and organization of the young people were especially noticeable. Everyone enthusiastically fulfilled their assigned tasks and enthusiastically joined in the common cause. This clearly demonstrated their love for their hometown and their desire to protect nature.

During the weekend, not only were cleaning activities carried out, but the participants were also explained the relevance of environmental issues. It was emphasized that environmental pollution directly affects not only nature, but also human health.

The youth were explained how to properly sort garbage, collect plastic waste separately, and reduce household waste. Such educational activities not only increase the environmental literacy of young volunteers, but also help them apply these skills in their daily lives.

The “Clean Kazakhstan” campaign is not only an environmental initiative, it is also aimed at strengthening unity and a sense of responsibility in society. One of the young people who participated in the vigil said about it: “Cleanliness in the city is the duty of every citizen. If everyone keeps their yard clean, the whole city will prosper. We want to be an example to others with our work today.”

Such events are an effective means of educating the younger generation, because through Sabbath, young people deeply feel the value of labor, the importance of unity, and the need to protect nature.

As a result of the cleanup, Turkestan Street became more attractive and comfortable for residents. The cleaned area became a convenient place for people to walk and children to play. The improvement of the roadside demonstrated the high level of culture of the city and had a positive effect on the mood of residents.

The Youth Resource Center plans to continue such events in the future. Every week, Sabbaths will be held on different streets and courtyards in the city. In addition, representatives of the center plan to organize environmental challenges among young people and set an example for the public.

The goal is not to limit ourselves to one-day cleaning, but to create an ecological culture in the daily lives of residents.

The Saturday event held on September 13 clearly demonstrated the activity of the youth of Shymkent and their love for their native city. This event, part of the "Clean Kazakhstan" campaign, was not only a tangible contribution to environmental protection, but also a way to educate young people in patriotism, hard work, and responsibility.

Protecting nature is the duty of every citizen. And the active participation of young people in this cause will increase confidence in the bright future of our country.
