The construction of small orphanages is planned in Ninotsminda, - the head of the public relations department of the Patriarchate, Archpriest Andria Jagmaidze said after a meeting between the Minister of Health, Ekaterine Tikaradze and representatives of the Patriarchate.

As Jagmaidze notes, the orphanages to be built in Ninotsminda will meet international standards.

"The past period has been assessed since Bishop Iakob was appointed head of the orphanage. Both sides expressed satisfaction with the way the process is going. There was talk of further steps - deinstitutionalization should take place, children should first return to biological families, if this fails then in family type orphanages, the last choice will be small orphanages.

The construction of small orphanages is planned in Ninotsminda, the representatives of the participating organizations will take part in it, so this cooperation will continue in order to ensure that the orphanages in Ninotsminda are of the same standard as the international requirements”, - Jagmaidze said.

According to him, at this stage, there is no talk of closing the Ninotsminda children's boarding school.
