Sometimes, one message changes everything. Meet Ilyas, an inDrive driver of four years, and his daughter Ayaulym — a Foundation Year student at inVision U, powered by inDrive. Theirs is a story of trust, courage, and what happens when opportunity meets the right family.
Kazakhstan has a lot more talent than opportunities. But sometimes, one opportunity is all it takes to change everything.
Ilyas:
I always wanted to give my eldest daughter a good education. When I saw inDrive’s message about their free educational program, I thought it was a joke. But I've been driving with inDrive for 4 years now, and I've seen how they help communities. I had a good feeling, and I thought, why not try?
My daughter and I checked everything: the website, reviews, social media. It was real! But getting in wasn't easy — she was only accepted on her second try. When she got her acceptance letter, she just sat back and smiled. It was like the world was telling her, "You're on the right path."
Like every parent, I always wanted my daughter to study abroad, so she could receive a good education. We never imagined that she could receive the same knowledge and opportunities right here in Kazakhstan.
For us, inDrive is more than an app. It's a source of opportunity — hundreds of them. It's the power to decide what's fair. And I believe this opportunity came into my life when I learned how to choose for myself.
Ayaulym:
I was afraid I wouldn't be able to handle it: a new language, a new place, a new city. But every day, I reminded myself that big things start small. As my English teacher says, "Step by step." So I kept working towards my goal: finishing the Foundation Year, enrolling in inVision U, and using my knowledge to help my community. inDrive gave me that chance, and now I want to pass it on.
One opportunity can lead to thousands of others.
