Orphan

An orphan is a child who has lost one or both of their parents. This can be due to a variety of factors, including death, abandonment, or separation. Orphans may be cared for by relatives or other guardians, or they may be placed in foster care or other forms of institutional care. Orphans are often vulnerable and may face challenges in accessing education, healthcare, and other basic services. Many organizations and charities around the world work to support orphans and help provide them with the care and support they need to thrive.
