orphanhood

Orphanhood refers to the condition of a child who has lost one or both parents, whether through death, abandonment, or other circumstances. This situation often leads to significant emotional and social challenges, as orphans may face loss, grief, and instability in their lives. They may also encounter difficulties in accessing education, healthcare, and support systems. Orphanhood can affect children’s development and well-being, and it highlights the importance of community and social services in providing care and protection to ensure that these vulnerable individuals receive the love and resources they need to thrive.
