Last week there were five children abandoned at the agency we work for. The mothers simply brought them to the waiting area and left. One was caught by our guards on her way out. She said she has no money to feed her children and thought the agency would be better able to take care of them. She was arrested and put in jail.

The agency has to find foster families as there are no orphanages. It cannot offer cash assistance to the families who accept these children. Needless to say, very few people are willing to take on extra kids when they can barely feed their own.
