"Exploring the National Fund for Children": Guide for Verifying Your Account Balance
As of 2025, the National Fund - Children program in Kazakhstan is set to provide a significant change for its adult citizens. From this year onwards, individuals aged 18 and above will have the ability to access and use their accumulated target savings, which have been accrued under the program since its inception in 2020.
This change marks an important milestone for the program, as it will allow young adults to withdraw and apply their savings towards purchasing housing or financing their education. Over the past two years, the program has already contributed approximately $233 to the individual accounts of nearly 7 million Kazakhstani children, creating a substantial base for these future savings to be utilized once the beneficiaries become adults [1].
The program is designed to offer a direct financial resource for young adults, supporting long-term social and economic development goals within Kazakhstan. By ensuring that the savings accumulated during childhood under the program effectively facilitate significant life investments upon reaching adulthood, the program aims to empower young Kazakhstanis to improve their living conditions or invest in higher education.
However, there are still some uncertainties regarding the method of accessing the funds once children turn 18, and whether the funds can be accessed electronically through the personal cabinet on the ENPF and eGov websites. The National Fund - Children program has not yet specified these details.
Currently, adults can access their target savings information electronically through their personal cabinets on both the ENPF portal and the eGov website. It remains to be seen if this method will also be available for young adults once they reach the age of 18.
The National Fund - Children program distributes 50% of the currency portion of the National Fund's income among children born after 2006. The program also allows parents to monitor accruals until their children reach 18 through their own cabinets.
This reported change in access to target savings information is set to take effect from 2025, marking a significant shift in the way the program supports its beneficiaries as they transition into adulthood.
