Orphanage

An orphanage is a residential facility that provides care and shelter to children who have lost their parents or whose families are unable to care for them. It offers a safe environment, basic needs like food, clothing, and education, and often emotional support. Orphanages aim to nurture children’s well-being and development until they can be placed with adoptive families, foster homes, or age out of the system. They play a vital role in safeguarding vulnerable children and ensuring they have stability and support during challenging times.
