In accordance with the decree of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan on the fundamental improvement of the state social support system for segments of the population in need of social protection, a new mechanism for supporting families in difficult life situations has been introduced.
Under this mechanism, citizens included in the categories of families receiving state support in the 'Social Register' are provided with interest-free loans to start entrepreneurial activities.
Through this procedure, interest-free loans were allocated to 959 needy families receiving state support in the Kashkadarya province. Thanks to these funds, many citizens have been able to start their entrepreneurial activities and create additional sources of income.
Some families, who previously depended on disability or child allowances, now receive a stable income through their own labor.
One such citizen is 25-year-old Jurabek Azimov, who lives in Guzor district. Four members of his family have disabilities. Although Jurabek previously possessed craft skills, he lacked the funds to start independent activity.
Thanks to the interest-free loan provided by the state, he acquired the necessary equipment and organized his workshop. He currently produces various items on order, contributing to his family's income.
