Challenges

Addressing the Complex Needs of Vulnerable Children

  • Lack of Personalized Care: Large-scale facilities often fail to meet the individual emotional and developmental needs of children.
  • Inadequate Preparation for Adulthood: Many children are left unprepared for independent living, leading to challenges like homelessness and unemployment.
  • Risk of Abuse and Neglect: Insufficient oversight can sometimes expose children to harmful environments.
  • Separation from Family: Orphanage placement can disrupt vital family and community connections, affecting healthy development.
  • Institutionalization and Stigma: Prolonged stays in orphanages can lead to social challenges and a lack of integration into society.
  • Limited Access to Education: Many children lack consistent, quality education, hindering their path to a brighter future.
