Many orphanages lack resources and staff to provide holistically for the children in their care. Kids that live in these institutions are not provided with the same resources and opportunities as their counterparts in private facilities. At-risk children in these situations often struggle with the lack of love, support, and resources. Studies show that orphanage living usually has a negative impact on a child’s mental, physical, and emotional well-being. They frequently become victims of human trafficking due to their vulnerability. Many also turn to criminal activities as a means of survival or gang involvement for a sense of belonging.
