A large number of children do not attend kindergarten due to the lack of a local facility, the distance to kindergartens in the city, the absence of regular transport, and high costs.
👩‍🌾 Women are active in agriculture, beekeeping, and handicrafts, but many are unable to work due to family responsibilities and the lack of supportive services.
🏙 Many families are considering moving to the city in search of better education and employment opportunities.

These findings clearly show that without investment in basic services and better connections with the city, Zhabar risks losing its population and its long-term development potential.
