Orphanages as institutional care systems have a long history of academic criticism. There is an exhaustive list of research papers, institutional position statements and investigative reports saturating the charity research space.

Even among large Muslim charities, several have, and for quite some time, terminated any funding or association with orphanage-based interventions.
