A study of attitudes towards residential care in Cambodia
The number of institutions and children living in residential care in Cambodia continues to rise. Since 2005, Cambodia has seen a 75% increase in number of residential care facilities for children. Yet in the past five years, 44% of children placed in residential care were brought by their parents. This study looks at why families are choosing to place children in residential care, why the number of facilities continues to grow and what can be done to strengthen families and communities to care for children instead.
