Uzbekistan's social welfare programs aid thousands with employment, healthcare, and education

The government has implemented a comprehensive approach, focusing on entrepreneurship and household farming as means of boosting the income of 14,000 citizens. This initiative has also extended to children, with 30,000 children enrolled in kindergartens, clubs, and vocational training programs to equip them with essential skills for the future. Additionally, 45,000 vulnerable people have received medical assistance, ensuring their well-being amidst ongoing challenges.

The initiative is a result of a concerted effort by social workers, who have been visiting households in communities across the country. This year, they helped an additional 95,000 needy individuals who were not previously registered in the assistance programs. In total, more than 51,000 individuals have been granted disability status, while 26,000 received prosthetics, and 5,000 children with disabilities were successfully placed in kindergartens and schools.

In parallel, reforms have been introduced to eliminate the unauthorized distribution of pensions to non-needy citizens, helping redirect budget resources for more effective use. Furthermore, a major initiative, launched three months ago, paired local leaders with 75,000 low-income families in an effort to provide tailored support, which has contributed to the success of these projects.
