An infotour for representatives of non-governmental organisations (NGOs) was organised at the Sabunchu Day Care Center under the Social Services Agency under the Ministry of Labour and Social Protection of  Population.

Children admitted to the center receive social and household, medical-social, social and psychological, and social and pedagogical services five days a week, from 09:00 to 18:00.
