UNICEF's Vladimir Lozinski reports on child welfare reform in Georgia.
You're watching UNICEF Television.
00:00:00
It's time for school in the village of Tianeti, Georgia.
00:00:03
And 14-year-old Meleton is glad to be here
00:00:06
and catching up with the other children.
00:00:09
He has been in an institution for two years
00:00:11
due to family difficulties.
00:00:13
Authorities here have returned the institution's 140 children
00:00:16
to their birth families or located them with foster families.
00:00:20
Meleton now lives with his aunt Tamar,
00:00:24
who brings him up at home.
00:00:26
Institutionalization of children was common here
00:00:29
during the Soviet period.
00:00:31
UNICEF is supporting the government
00:00:33
to promote family-based childcare practices.
00:00:35
Transformation of the Tianeti Children's Institution
00:00:37
into a daycare center is an example.
00:00:40
Children are in families now and they go to regular school.
00:00:43
The children come to the center in the afternoon
00:00:46
where they can have a meal, do their homework
00:00:49
and get involved in the center's activities.
00:00:51
The center takes the pressure off families
00:00:54
who could not afford to keep their children.
00:00:56
Clearly, psychologically, children have changed.
00:01:00
When I started working in the center,
00:01:03
there was a large number of children that were socially withdrawn.
00:01:05
They wouldn't speak to each other
00:01:08
and, needless to say, they couldn't engage with the school.
00:01:10
16-year-old Mariam Amadashvili
00:01:16
returned to her mother Gulo 14 months ago.
00:01:18
She was institutionalized for five years
00:01:23
because her mother had to look for work
00:01:25
and could not afford to feed her.
00:01:27
It really hurts when a mother misses her child
00:01:33
and a child misses her mother.
00:01:35
She recently found work for 100 lari per month.
00:01:37
That's less than $2 a day.
00:01:40
The Ministry of Education at UNICEF
00:01:42
gives 60 laris per month as a supplement
00:01:44
to support Mariam and to meet their basic needs.
00:01:47
Before, I couldn't afford a simple thing
00:01:50
like a pen for my daughter.
00:01:52
Now these things are possible.
00:01:56
I have a salary and people standing by me.
00:01:58
Mariam's study has improved.
00:02:03
She has more friends and feels that she's back in a family.
00:02:05
What is most important is that I'm home with my mom.
00:02:10
The support given helps them become that family again.
00:02:13
The support given helps them become that family again
00:02:17
where nobody feels alone.
00:02:20
