An orphan is a child who does not have parents due to various circumstances such as death or unhappy living which causes divorces. Many orphans are also abandoned after birth. These children are the ones who would be placed in an orphanage.
Orphanage is a home where the children who had lost their parents live.
They take shelter there and most importantly they are taken care of and loved. Most of the orphanage homes are run on a shoe-string budget. They mainly depend on the generosity of the public through donations of clothes, food, stationary, household utensils and many other things. A guardian in the orphanage will take care of the orphans. Some of the orphans would be adopted by a family.
