PM: Assistance to socially vulnerable children increases to 150 GEL
Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili has congratulated the children on World Children’s Day and wished them happiness, well-being, and health.
In his Children’s Day message, Garibashvili said: “looking after our children’s better future, and creating conditions for their development, health, and growing into full citizens, is a precondition of Georgia’s strength, hence our Government’s key task.”
The PM stated that effective today the assistance for socially vulnerable children will increase to 150 GEL.
“Since coming to power, we have implemented numerous reforms and projects to this end. Last year, we doubled assistance for socially vulnerable children. Today, this assistance will grow even further to make up 150 GEL. The program will apply to more than 215,000 children, for which the state will allocate 341 million GEL. To reduce child poverty, and ensure their development, we will continue and scale up our efforts,” Garibashvili stated.
