In Azerbaijan, there are over 2,000 children with disabilities who are still living away from their families in Soviet-era children’s homes. The UK charity EveryChild and local partner UAFA (United Aid for Azerbaijan) is helping to prevent children with disabilities from growing up in harmful children’s homes by providing family support services and lobbying the Azerbaijan government for increased family benefits. This particular programme is funded by Big Lottery.
