Starting next year, children from families included in the Social Register will receive special vouchers. The state will fully cover their expenses for kindergartens, training centers, travel, and student dormitories.

In addition, the state is expanding support for mothers: the Social Insurance Fund will pay working women a child care allowance until the child reaches one year of age.

This year, the state has already allocated 300 billion soums for social packages for needy families. Assistance was received by 11,000 families, and half of them saw their incomes rise significantly.
