SHELTER HOME FOR AIDS ORPHANS AND POOR CHILDREN
THE PROBLEMS FACED BY AIDS ORPHANS-EMOTIONAL IMPACT
 |
The loss of a parent to AIDS can have serious consequences for a child's access to basic necessities such as shelter, food, clothing, health and education. Orphans are more likely than non-orphans to live in large, female-headed households where more people are dependent on fewer income earners. This lack of income puts extra pressure on AIDS orphans to contribute financially to the household, in some cases driving them to the streets to work, beg or seek food. |
The majority of children who have lost a parent continue to live in the care of a surviving parent or family member like aged grand parents, but often have to take on the responsibility of doing the housework, looking after siblings and caring for ill or dying parent(s). Children who have lost one parent to AIDS are often at risk of losing the other parent as well, since HIV may have been transmitted between the couple through sex. Of whom, many are being adversely become AIDS victims and their children turns AIDS orphans
