The purpose of the research is to highlight how the outbreak of World War II worsened the economic and social conditions of the population of Uzbekistan. The demand for food and housing increased among the population. Despite the difficult situation, the republic received more than 1 million evacuated people. Among the evacuees, there were over 200,000 children, and the population provided them with shelter. The main objective of this article is to demonstrate how the Uzbek people, even in hard economic times, preserved humanity and saved the lives of more than 200,000 children. Additionally, the article will analyze the organization of children's homes, as well as the provision of food, clothing, and other support for these children from a historical perspective.
