Two thirds of the population in
Tajikistan living in poverty. Poverty practically guarantees that the majority
of children in the country are vulnerable and at risk.
More than 5,000 children are working in
the streets and markets of Tajikistan's cities to help their families. Many
children and young people are being forced into prostitution and other forms of
exploitative labor. These children are being exposed to violence and disease.
Family crises because of poverty have
led to increased violence at home, and children are the most vulnerable
victims.
Children with disabilities have little
access to proper education and rehabilitative care. Many are accommodated in
institutions where they lack appropriate opportunities for social integration.
Nonetheless, there has been little commitment in government policy and within
the social welfare system to provide adequate care for these children.
Here are some pictures of our community services with with my friends in Tajikisatan.
Let’s share our food and cloth with our
brothers and sisters. I cannot do anything by myself, but together we can make
a poverty something in the past. So, what we are waiting for?!!
