Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) -- On 19 January 2019, the Embassy of Uzbekistan in the United States hosted a meeting with the delegation of the Center for Children and Young People with Disabilities at the Union of Youth of Uzbekistan that arrived in the United States.
The prospects for establishing and developing cooperation with relevant US institutions, including potential donors, as well as charitable foundations were discussed.
Particular attention was paid to the need to study US best practices in supporting children with disabilities. In the United States each year, about 4% of the federal budget of the country, or more than US$140 billion, is spent on social support for people with disabilities. In addition, private foundations and charitable organizations also provide annual assistance in the amount of about US$250 billion and are the world leader in terms of (US$8 billion a year) of humanitarian aid provided to foreign countries.
At the meeting, a separate topic was the organization of a quality education system for children with hearing and speech impairments in Uzbekistan, which was determined by President Shavkat Mirziyoyev last summer during a visit to the Center for Culture of the Deaf-Mute Society of the Deaf of Uzbekistan as one of the main priorities of the Government in supporting socially vulnerable groups .
The program of the Uzbek delegation’s trip to the USA envisages its participation in targeted trainings in such American cities as San Antonio, Austin, Burlington and New York. In addition, representatives of our country led by the Director of the Center, Honored Artist of Uzbekistan Rano Shadiyeva will hold a number of targeted meetings and talks with the American side.
