Is it not possible to combine these children with other
non-Orphanage children.

Naming the program as orphanage, might cause the orphan-children to think, that they are being separated from the society or from other children.

I remember I heard that (if I am not wrong)
Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him ) said, whoever look after the orphans, they will be accompanied with him in heaven.

Regardless of religion, race, we should always wholeheartedly help these kids as they never feel they are deprived of parental affection
