Suggested Answer Key
My parents always say that it is never too early to make a success of yourself and in the case of Maulen Akhmetov, they’re right. He was just 15 years old when he started his first business. He is hardworking and ambitious and he wants to make a difference in the world. He is the CEO of Kunde Café. This is a business that provides adults with mental
disabilities the opportunity to work and join a community. He managed to convince the national government to provide subsidies to help pay Kunde
Café workers. As a result, 115 marginalised individuals have received training through the Kunde Café so far.
Another of his businesses is Farmil, which develops innovative indoor farming technologies. The idea is that supermarkets will be able to grow a huge variety of fruit and vegetables indoors using aeroponics. There will be no soil, no pesticides, no herbicides, 95% less water usage and no logistics costs. Maulen’s idea is not only great for the people
living in Kazakhstan, but also for the planet too!
