A ceremony of an official opening of the second building of the orphanage Chorbogh, which is house for children with intellectual disabilities, was held in the Varzob district today morning. Speaking at an inaugurating ceremony, President Emomali Rahmon noted that the government will take care of disabled children. Reminding that 3,500 disable children currently study and undergo treatment at special boarding schools of the Ministry of Labor and Social Protection (MLSP), the president noted that some 2,300 of them are children with intellectual disabilities. “Over the past three years, the budget has annually provided 3,700 somonis, 4,400 somonis and 5,800 somonis respectively per one inmate in such facilities,” the president said. In 2007 alone, the country’s budget allocated totaling 6.8 million somonis for keeping such facilities, which is 34 percent than in the previous year, Rahmon said. “Besides, 3.2 million somonis were allocated last year for a number of social facilities located in Vahdat, Baljuvon and Chorbogh,” the head of state noted. He noted that the second building will be house for 100 children. He added that the third and the fourth buildings of the orphanage with boiler houses and other necessary facilities should be constructed within the next two years, and the government is allocating 8.5 million for this. “It will be the republican center for rehabilitation of children,” the president said, underlining the importance of assistance provided by the Government of Turkey in construction of the second building.
