The article gives an introduction to the issue of the specifics of residential care in Cambodia. It considers the rising number of orphans in the country, despite the world-wide trend of transition to family or community care. Simultaneously, the author asks the reasons for this phenomenon and gives answers from personal practice and the practice of other organisations working in this area. The article also describes a project by St. Elizabeth’s University of Health and Social Work in Bratislava, House of Family as an orphanage, which has been helping Cambodian children with HIV/AIDS since 2003.
