She is the mother of seven children.
For the past 13 years, K. Cherikbaeva has been helping her sons with inflating car tires.
“I have always supported my husband, and in this way, I learned all the intricacies of tire repair. First, my eldest son started doing this work, and then my youngest son also mastered this profession. Now our youngest son is serving in the army. I continue to help my husband with the repair of car wheels that come to us. We patch up damages and balance the tires. We have all the necessary tools. Previously, we did everything manually, but now we use modern equipment. I never complain about work and am always ready to help. The drivers who come to us usually express their gratitude,” she shared.
In her village, Kadyrkül is known by the nickname “baatyr apa.”
