Community and religious attitudes
Community attitudes within Indonesia toward orphanages have not been researched in depth. It appears clear that these institutions play a role in Islamic religious observance for some sections of Indonesian society, but the precise nature and extent of this phenomenon is unclear.
Knowledge gaps
Considerable scope exists to examine contemporary social, community and religious attitudes about orphanages. Areas for further research include the role played by charitable giving to panti asuhan in the context of Islamic religious observance, changing community perceptions about orphanages, and the role of philanthropy in support of orphanages.
