Of the 8 million kids in institutions worldwide, more than 90% aren't orphans


Many children live in orphanages because their parents cannot look after them, and there are efforts to de-institutionalise them.

Instead of worrying about the adjustments she has to make, Devi is more concerned about whether her mother will come to visit her at her new home.
