The disabled people whom the government provided with special cars
for disabled people are already earning money driving their cars for
transportation. The family members say in a few days they have changed,
and there is confidence in the eyes which were full of despair.
The idea to provide the disabled people of the first degree with
cars belongs to the minister of social security Narine Azatyan. She
thinks that Karabakh should launch entitlement programs which will
have definite addressees. And the ministry she heads is already making
efforts in this direction.
The idea is to determine the category and separate people who need
social aid more than others. The most vulnerable classes are children,
old people and disabled people. They are the first in line for social
assistance. The structural and staff changes in the social sphere
began with the children's home. The minister says the children who
live there now look happier.
There is also a plan to build an old people's home in Shushi, not just
a home but also a place where they will get treatment. According to
the minister, the plan is to set up a home where even elderly people
who have a family will wish to live there.
Besides, a program of integration of disabled people is being worked
out to help them earn money and not to rely heavily on humanitarian
aid. For instance, there is an idea to buy special computers for
people who cannot see. Computers would also help people who cannot
move to earn money.
There are a lot of plans but they appear more realistic than in
the other cases. Because it is evident that some utopian ideas have
been brought into being. Besides, the personality of the minister,
her hearty and unbiased approach is a guarantee that the money will
be spent to the purpose.
The factor of confidence has a deciding role in this case. It is
remembered that immediately after the war when immense humanitarian
aid flew to Karabakh, a fund was set up where the entire aid was
accumulated. A person who donates money not for a definite program
but to the fund had no possibility to trace on what their money was
spent. Now the approach has changed. The ministry has published a book
(we are going to post it on our website) which contains detailed
information about the charity programs. The benefactors who wish
to aid Karabakh are offered definite programs with the names and
addresses of recipients. And each benefactor can get acquainted with
the family which they assist.
The social policy in the country where almost half of the population
belongs to vulnerable categories, acquires a special meaning. Good or
bad attitude is reflected on the social sphere in a hypertrophied form.
