Kyrgystan orphans

As I was praying for Kyrgyzstan this morning, I noticed the percentage of orphans is high. I checked my data and for my 29 countries Kyrgyzstan rates number 2 for % of orphans in the country. For such a small country I wonder what is the cause. As far as population it is number 14 and 8th place for number of orphans.

Bishkek is a sister city of Colorado Springs.
I do not plan to visit the former Central Asian Republics until 2023-yes I plan a ways out.

The stats


Total number of children left without parental care (during the year 2014) = 2,009.
Total number of children in formal care (at the end of the year 2014) = 28,174.
% of population = 0.487%
