Child of Poor Family Doesn’t Go to School, Newborn Doesn’t Have Birth Certificate: Shirak Centre NGO

The 8-year-old daughter of a family living in extreme poverty has never gone to school, and the newborn child doesn't have a birth certificate. The family, living in one of the temporary housing settlements in Armenia's second-largest city, Gyumri, is comprised of three daughters, two of whom are single moms. The women in the video say they don't receive social benefits, and they didn't get a birth certificate for the two-month-old baby because they couldn't afford it. 

The video was prepared by Shirak Centre [AM], a NGO that solicits donations and then buys food, clothing, and other supplies for needy families in Gyumri.
