Savior Children Foundation

There are several reasons for the high number of orphaned children in Ghana.

• Various diseases, the lack of medical care, or natural disasters
• Many parents can not afford their children's nutrition and education needs
• Cultural factors 

There are four distinctions of orphans: 

• Children who have lost both parents by death
• Half-orphans or vulnerable children; children who have lost one parent through death and the remaining parent is not able to care for the child
• Children who have been exiled from their unknown parents
• A child who still has both parents but who are not able to supply the child necessary nutrition and education needs. These are called social orphans.

It is a sad reality but there are many poor families in Ghana.  Parents simply cannot afford their children.
