An investigation on the Welfare limits of orphans. a case study of Nangosia location, Busia County

Abstract

The study concluded that the needs of the orphans go beyond the basic ones and do include the socio-psychological ones and that the help from the government is quite limited. The recommendation of the study was that their basic physical needs are to be met and there is need to address the psychosocial needs by providing counselling services. Also, the number of orphans receiving help through the CT-OVC Programme should be increased.This helps to improve the welfare of these orphaned children.
