Cambodia
More than three-quarters of children in orphanages have living parents.
The number of orphanages has doubled over the past five years
Only 21 of the 269 orphanages are run by the government.
The rest are funded and run by foreign donors and faith-based organizations.
Many orphanages have been set up to make money off of foreign funds, especially volunteers and tourists (voluntourists).
Most orphanages have not yet been inspected
It is cheaper and better to support families in caring for children.
