Over 7 million people benefit from welfare services in Iran

Tehran, IRNA – Head of the State Welfare Organization of Iran Ali Mohammad Ghaderi has said 2.9 million households benefit from welfare services in Iran and that the total number of people receiving services is 7.5 million.

He made the remarks in a ceremony to commemorate Welfare Week on Saturday, adding that according to international statistics, some 7 to 15 percent of the population of each society is disabled, but 1.8 million households with a disabled member referred to the State Welfare Organization in Iran.

Ghaderi also spoke about providing the disabled with proper housing, noting that the organization plans to provide the disabled with 160,000 housing units so that families with disabled members become self-sufficient.

The official also pointed to the creation of jobs for the target community, saying that the State Welfare Organization is legally obliged to create 65,000 jobs, but in fact, more than 87,000 jobs were created in the last Iranian year (ending on March 20, 2023) and the performance of the organization is 37% above the determined level.
