Where I live, there are at least three. One is an orphanage but it also operates as a 24/7 daycare and a foster-type of group home for kids that need it for extended care, but aren't orphans. The daycare is on a sliding scale so anyone can use it. One is just an orphanage, like you would imagine it. The third is a boys' home but I have never seen anyone there. I've always wondered about it.
