Orphanages in Gujarat | Anath Ashram | Donations | Adoptions

What are Orphanages or Anath Ashrams?

An orphanage ( Anath Ashram in Hindi/Gujarati ) is defined as "An Institution that houses children whose parents are deceased or whose whereabouts are unknown." The term is generally considered outmoded in the United States(For NRIs), although it is frequently used to describe institutions abroad, where it is a more accurate term, since the word orphan has a different definition in international adoption.An orphanage is a residential institution devoted to the care of large numbers of children.

Other residential institutions for children can be called group home, children's home, refuge, rehabilitation center, night shelter, or youth treatment center.
