YEREVAN. - The housing issue of 22 children from Armenia's Zatik
orphanage must be solved until 2013 or else they will end up on
streets, the director of Zatik orphanage Ashot Mnatsakanyan told
Armenian News-NEWS.am adding that at the beginning of the year Zatik
orphanage transformed into a children's Support and Protection Center
and is operating under new rules.
According to the director, currently the center is functioning in
three directions: orphanage, day care center and center of temporary
care. Currently there are 90 children registered at the center, 22 of
which are in the orphanage. However, from 2014 the center will
function only as a Support center for children.
The director excluded the option that any of the children will be left
on the streets. Everything must be done in order to provide housing
for the children.
4 girls will be taken under the care of the church, some children will
be adopted by families and the others will turn 18 by that time and
leave the orphanage.
As Armenian News-NEWS.am reported earlier, Zatik Orphanage is to be
turned into a Children's Protection Center. The reason for such a
change is the lack of children.
