They care not the same. The definition of an orphan can vary. Some consider it losing one parent while other consider it losing both parents. Foster kids are kids that are in the foster care system some due to being orphaned but some for other reasons.

A foster child has been given by the authorities to foster parent to look after, either for a short or long term. This may happen because the parents can't cope, or too sick, or has abandoned the child.

An orphan child has lost both parents who have died. The child may be put into an orphanage run by the state, or given into the care of a suitable couple willing to adopt the child, and raise the child as their own.

It is challenging to provide an exact number as data on global orphan mortality rates can vary due to factors like access to healthcare, living conditions, and region-specific data collection. However, millions of orphans are estimated to die each year due to reasons such as malnutrition, lack of proper healthcare, and vulnerable living situations. Efforts to improve support for orphaned children can help reduce these numbers.
