Orphans are children who have lost one or both of their parents, often due to reasons such as illness, accidents, or conflict. This loss can lead to significant emotional and social challenges, as these children may lack the support and guidance typically provided by a family. In many societies, orphans may be placed in orphanages or foster care systems, where they receive basic needs like food and shelter. However, they often face difficulties in accessing education and healthcare, which can impact their development and future opportunities. Various charities and organizations work to support orphans and improve their living conditions.
