Russia to Open Humanitarian Centers, Orphanages in Africa: Children's Rights Commissioner
16:38 16.10.2023 (Updated: 20:47 16.10.2023) The commissioner's remarks came during her press conference in Moscow, where she discussed humanitarian projects in Africa and cooperation with other countries on children's issues, as well as the current activities of the Russian Institute of Ombudspersons for Children's Rights in Russia.
As part of its humanitarian projects within children's health care and education, Moscow plans to open humanitarian headquarters where medicines and food will be distributed to children, as well as orphanages in Africa, Russian Commissioner for Children's Rights Maria Lvova-Belova said.
She noted that the projects are implemented jointly with the Russian Orthodox Church (ROC).
"Together with the ROC, we are preparing to open humanitarian centers in parishes, where children and families with children can receive water, food, medicine, drugs and clothing. In addition, we plan to open courses to teach counting, reading and writing to all children who want it, and we see great potential in opening children's shelters," Lvova-Belova remarked.
The commissioner also spoke about the implementation of four
Russian initiatives: three in Kenya and one in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
"These include the organization of a computer class in a charity school and of a medical clinic in an orphanage," Lvova-Belova explained.
In addition, she emphasized that this year, cooperation with CIS countries was bolstered, for instance, the commission of ombudspersons for children's rights of CIS member states, established at Russia's initiative, began operating.
In late July, Lvova-Belova announced, in addition to the clinic and computer lab, the opening of a poultry farm, and the delivery of Russian grain for further cultivation of local crops as part of humanitarian aid to the
DR Congo and Kenya.
