Since the start of the year, social workers identified and assisted 95,000 vulnerable citizens in Uzbekistan through door-to-door visits.
They confirmed disability status for 51,000 people and provided prosthetics to 26,000. Around 5,000 children with disabilities are enrolled in kindergartens and schools.
Social workers supported 75,000 low-income families. Targeted assistance helped 17,000 people secure jobs, while 14,000 increased their income through entrepreneurship.
Nearly 30,000 children gained access to education. Doctors provided free medical care to 45,000 low-income citizens.
The door-to-door visits also stopped unjustified social payments to people who did not need them.
