36 support centers for orphans appeared in Kazakhstan

The Committee for the Protection of Children's Rights of the Ministry of Education of the Republic of Kazakhstan continues to work intensively to create a more effective system of support for children in difficult life situations, El.kz reports with reference to the press service of the Ministry of Education of the Republic of Kazakhstan.

Today, 36 organizations for orphans have been transformed into child support centers across the country. They provide children with full government support, including food, clothing, footwear and soft equipment.

Child support centers are organizations under the jurisdiction of educational authorities that provide special social services with the provision of permanent or temporary (day) stays. In addition, they provide information, consulting and services to legal entities related to the prevention of difficult life situations.

Each of the 36 centres provides eight special social services: social and domestic, social and medical, social and psychological, social and pedagogical, social and labour, social and cultural, social and economic and social and legal services.

They are also actively working on the further life of pupils, including returning to a blood family, placing them in a family of Kazakh citizens, or sending them to centers for orphans and children left without parental care. Psychological and legal support services for inmates, as well as services to facilitate family placement, have been established in each Centre.

In general, over the past ten years, the number of orphanages and their pupils in the country has halved. On behalf of the President, they have been transformed into child support centers.
