Living environment a powerful factor in the lives of Rwanda's orphans

(University of Helsinki) A population study establishes that orphanages are important for Rwanda's orphans mainly because of lower stigma and marginalization they faced from the community. Children in orphanages are emotionally healthier, suffer less from mental distress and are less prone to high-risk behavior than orphans living under other circumstances.
