A contest of social projects to assist children in Kyrgyzstan

On August 13, the Labour and Social Development Ministry of Kyrgyzstan announced a contest of social projects among non-governmental organizations on prevention of the worst forms of child labour and social adaptation of disabled children. The contest will be conducted within the framework of the state programme for the implementation of children’s rights New Generation and of the law on state social order.
