The cultural importance of the family is also emphasized in the Old Testament.

It is a very small social group which basically consists of parents and their children. The family, in turn, can continue to exist only if it is supported by the larger society. Children who are deprived of love and affection from their biological parents, either due to death of their parents or abandonment of children by parents are called Orphan Children. An orphanage is a public institution dedicated for the care of orphans. These orphanages look after the orphans for food, clothes, shelter, education, culture and health.
