Orphans may be exposed to more social harm due to the loss of their parents, and lack of support for these people can lead to problems such as:
Propensity to crime and corruption: If orphans are not guided properly, they may be exposed to social harm and turn to delinquency and crime in adulthood.
Increase of addiction: In some cases, orphans resort to drugs or alcohol to escape emotional and social problems.
Domestic violence: If orphans are not raised properly, they may engage in aggressive and violent behavior in adulthood.
These harms can be prevented by properly supporting orphans, and they can be raised as positive individuals in society.

Orphan care usually takes the form of supporting neglected children, which can have positive effects on other families, such as the following:
Strengthening family relationships: Families that take responsibility for orphans usually strengthen their relationships in the process of raising these children and indirectly strengthen a culture of respect and responsibility in their own family.
Modeling family solidarity: Supporting orphans at the family level can be a model for other families to strengthen responsibility and solidarity in their families.
4. Impact on education and culture
