Abstract
BACKGROUND:
Governments have an ethical imperative to safeguard children in residential care institutions at all times, including in the aftermath of an emergency. Yet, a lack of accurate data about how the magnitude and characteristics of this population may change due to an emergency impedes leaders' ability to formulate responsive policies and services, mobilize resources and foster accountability. The purpose of this study was therefore to determine the feasibility of evaluating movement of children into residential care following an emergency.
METHODS:
The pilot…

Quite often children go to orphanages because they are poor. As children start to adapt to their lives in orphanages, relationships with families are broken. Some directors of orphanages actively prevent parents from…
