Facts



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.
