Children's homes, also known as orphanages or youth residences, provide children with a safe and nurturing environment when they cannot live with their parents. These homes provide basic necessities such as food, shelter, and clothing but also offer emotional support, education, and socialization. Alternatively, they may be referred to as children's shelters, foster homes, or group homes. These synonyms substitute the term "children's home" to reflect different aspects of the services provided, such as foster homes which prioritize placing children in a family setting or group homes that emphasize group living arrangements. The terminology used can vary based on location and cultural differences. Regardless of the name, the aim is to provide a loving and stable environment for children in need.
