YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 16, ARMENPRESS: Seven children's homes are operating
in Armenia rooming about 780 children, according to the 2011 data.
Karine Khachatryan, head of the Family, Women and Children Affairs
Department at the Labor and Social Affairs Ministry, told Armenpress
that two of the children's homes are specialized. 415 children with
mental and physical disabilities are living there.
"About 90% of children living in "Marie Izmirlian" children's home
have different problems. After the cabinet approves a bill it will
become the third specialized children's home," Khachatryan said.
She said for each child living in specialized children's homes, the
state provides 1380 AMD daily for food and 4918 AMD for child's care,
totally 6298 AMD. The sum allocated for non-specialized children's
homes is less, for instance the state allocates for a child at "Yerevan
Child's Home" 1115 AMD for food, 5061 AMD for other expenditures.
The specialist said there are few ways of discharging from children's
homes. "It happens when the child is being handed to foster family
or when he/she is being returned to biological family. The cases when
a child is being adopted are more spread," Khachatryan said.
