How many orphanages are there in Ghana and how many children are orphans?
It is hard to know how many orphanages currently exist in Ghana, since most of them are not registered with the Department of Social Welfare. Only ten years ago the official number did not even reach 10 in Ghana. Now there are more than 160 orphanages. In Ghana there are more than 1,100,000 orphaned children. Almost 200 of them live at Osu Children’s Home.
