Orphanages, like diseases, flourish in the chaos and destruction of a humanitarian crisis.

New orphanages often pop up as international aid groups try to quickly respond to the needs of vulnerable children. And existing institutions also thrive, as parents facing a lack of basic necessities will feel there is no other option but to place their children there.

Often in unregulated environments such as in the aftermath of wars, children risk being ‘recruited’ into institutions; trafficked for the considerable financial benefit of the institution owners.

Once a child is in an orphanage, the consequences are lifelong and devastating.

I have faulted in this, and maybe you have too, but it’s never too late to do the right thing.
