To date, 273 children have participated in rehabilitation activities in Azerbaijan as part of this project. We express our gratitude to everyone who supported the implementation of this project. The Coordination Headquarters for the Treatment of Prisoners of War has also played an important role in carrying out this project. Ukrainian children are a special category of children.

The project is aimed at socializing such children and providing them with support. Today's concert is also a part of that project. The 'People of the Future' project is being implemented in 20 countries, including Azerbaijan."
