STUDENTS SERVED

Many orphanages, especially in low-income countries, lack proper oversight and accountability. This makes children vulnerable to neglect, abuse, and exploitation. Some orphanages even operate as businesses, keeping children in poor conditions to attract foreign donations.

Orphanages Do Not Prepare Children for the Future Growing up in an institution often leaves children ill-equipped for independent life. Many struggle to integrate into society once they leave, lacking the life skills, family connections, and emotional support needed to succeed. Family-based care and community support give children a stronger foundation for adulthood.

Studies show that 80-90% of children in orphanages have at least one living parent or extended family member. Poverty, rather than the loss of parents, is often the main reason children end up in orphanages. Instead of separating children from their families, we should focus on supporting families and communities to care for them.

If we truly care about vulnerable children, we must shift from funding orphanages to supporting families, empowering communities, and promoting sustainable solutions. Every child deserves a home—not just a bed in an institution.
