There are approximately 153 MILLION orphans
WORLDWIDE.
According to the Christian Alliance
for Orphans this number does not include:
*2-8 MILLION children living in
institutions
*those children living on the
streets
*those children exploited for labor
*those children who are victims of
trafficking
*those forced to participate in
armed groups
*the vast majority of social orphans
who have one or more living parent, yet experience life as though they do
not.
According to The Global Orphan
Crisis the vast majority of orphans suffer the effects of institutionalization
from years of living in orphanages with symptoms such as:
*delayed physical or mental
abilities
*lack of skill set
*inability to bond
Children with moderate to severe
special needs living in an orphanage could die prematurely due to lack of care
because they view children as cursed or useless.
