«Dear friends! In my address at the end of 2020, I don’t feel like talking about the results, numbers, achievements. I just want to talk about people... Last year was special. Sounds trite, but it's an undeniable fact. Unfortunately, many of us, our relatives and friends, have experienced losses, health problems, and isolation. But at the same time, massive transformations took place. The world and we have changed: we have learned to live and, most importantly, to think in a new way.
Now we can freely "move" both in real and virtual space. How many cities have I visited and opened the next course of the “Mama-Entrepreneur” program, sitting in the kitchen with a cup of aromatic coffee! And despite all the restrictions we managed to train mothers who dream of their own business in 43 cities of Russia!
And the employees of the company and partners helped us in this! I am personally grateful to everyone who spared no effort and time to support mothers in self-realisation and represent adequately our charitable foundation. I observed how people become responsive and caring, ready to help. Surprisingly, business, being itself in a difficult situation, sensitively and instantly responded to any request for help, and the state actively supported the initiatives of public organisations.
We saw how even a minimal donation of 100 rubles can affect the lives of hundreds of foster families. For example, during the #VdvoineVotvete campaign, 40 times more funds were raised than usual during the same time period. And more than 100 families queuing for psychological support at the Find a Family Foster Family Support Service got a chance to get out of the crisis that escalated during the pandemic, build relationships, maintain the atmosphere of love and acceptance for the adopted child, which he so desperately needs.. We are grateful to everyone who responded and transferred funds to the “With Love for Children” program.
The fragility of our lives and health obviously accelerated the decision made in 2020 to launch the ReForma healthy lifestyle program for families with many children, foster families and mothers with children with disabilities. Often in families, mothers bear the burden of responsibility for the health of the family, for the upbringing of children, their education and physical development. But then where can you find time for yourself? In such a situation, the call to “put the oxygen mask on yourself first” ceases to be a monotonous announcement in the cabin. I hope that this program will help thousands of mothers change their lifestyle, make time for themselves and take a conscious approach to caring for themselves and their children.
This year we have many achievements, positive changes, which you can learn about from this report. With my small but very professional team, we want to feel that we are in the right place, that our work is “meaningful”. Your support and feedback, funds raised, volunteer and charity events that you organise, feedback from families, mothers with children whom we help — all this gives us inspiration to work, develop, and grow. It was last year that showed how cool we are doing it together! Thank you for being with us!»

«The past year has been a very difficult one for the "Mama-entrepreneur" program which is only held in person. I am very glad that we were still able to implement it in more than 40 regions of Russia. It is very important that in 2020 we signed an open-ended cooperation agreement with our partners – MSP Corporation, "OPORA RUSSIA" and "Otkritie" Bank. The program's entry into the international arena is the next in line. Getting ready to launch "Mama-entrepreneur" in Kazakhstan!».
Ekaterina Levshina
The Head of the «Mama-entrepreneur» program in Russia and Kazakhstan
«2020 has become an unpredictable year for everyone, and we have often had to act according to circumstances. The families we help under the "With love for children" program needed support. Together with our partners we have organised several successful fundraising events that helped projects not only sustain the pace but also increase the amount of assistance provided. We also launched the #YavOtvete contest among independent entrepreneurs and Amway employees and the "ReForma" program which will help unique mothers in the regions find time to take care of themselves».

About programs
3.
In 2003, Amway launched the ONE BY ONE worldwide program, whereby by improving the lives of one child after another, we make this world a better place. Each country implements those programs that are able to solve the most complex and urgent problems of this country.
To date, the «Amway for Future» Fund supports the activities of four programs. The Fund's programs сomply with the Amway principles established since its foundation.
The Amway company appeared on the Kazakh market in 2013. Since then the Amway Fund has been supporting charitable projects of the Kazakhstan representative office.
Mama-entrepreneur
In 2021, the «Mama-entrepreneur» program starts in Kazakhstan! And it means that the Fund devoted 2020 to preparing for its launch in a new country. The program will be held in a social format — only for large families, foster mothers and mothers of children with disabilities.
We managed to find reliable partners: the Association of Entrepreneurs of the Assembly of the People of Kazakhstan, the National Chamber of Entrepreneurs «Atameken», the Forum of Entrepreneurs of Kazakhstan.
We also developed a new interactive online training format due to covid restrictions and were able to prepare to accept applications from all over Kazakhstan without city restrictions.

New challenges
Action «Double care»
The challenge of COVID-19
Against the backdrop of forced self-isolation the number of calls to crisis centers has tripled. The victims of domestic violence were women with minor children in their arms.
We developed and launched a special charitable article worth 100 tenge. Amway Kazakhstan has doubled the collected donations.
1,000,000 tenge were transferred to the Union of Crisis Centers of Kazakhstan. Professional retraining courses were organized for people from crisis centers in 5 cities of Kazakhstan.
