Better support for kids in Belarusian large families promised

BELYNICHI DISTRICT ( BelTA) – There are plans to improve mechanisms to support kids in large families. Belarus President Aleksandr Lukashenko mentioned it while talking to residents of the agrotown of Vishov, Belynichi District, Mogilev Oblast, BelTA has learned.

The mother of many Yelena Kalakustova lives in Vishov. She thanked Aleksandr Lukashenko for support available to large families. She is the head of the folk music band Vabichanskiya Uzory in the local community center. She has six kids now. She received an Order of Mother from the president back in 2017.

Yelena Kalakustova told Aleksandr Lukashenko: “I am very proud and grateful to you for support for large families, for your attention, for the care for our kids.”

The president said: “We will take a close look at large families because they are versatile. This is why I insist now: we will think about ways of getting money to the kids. It is necessary to find a way. We will do everything for children from large families. Because we could use a larger population. We need to increase the population. We could feed twice as many people as we do today.”

“Right you are!” the Vishov residents backed the president.

Support will also be extended to military personnel, the head of state stressed. “They shouldn't worry that they will not have housing. We will build as much housing as necessary,” he said.
