“Nowadays Kyrgyzstan counts up to 4,000 homeless children,” said participants of the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) Professional Education for Homeless Children project taking part in the Every Child Has a Right for Happiness campaign in Bishkek today. However, the figures voiced are informal.
Local children’s dancing and singing groups are going to demonstrate their shows as part of the campaign. The organizers also intend to hold a children’s arts and crafts display and a bakery exposition.
“The campaign is called to raise homeless children’s self-esteem as people rarely pay attention to such children. And through this campaign they prove that they want to fight poverty and illiteracy and become useful for the society,” UNDP noted.
