dc.description.abstractThe researcher in this study wanted to get a better understanding of the circumstances surrounding orphans in Ulundi Local Municipality. It was found that there were more paternal/maternal orphans rather than double orphans. The findings also revealed that most orphans were living with grandparents and were well taken care of as a result a majority of orphans’ school performance was not disturbed after their parents passed away. This research also revealed that most orphans were still grieving the death of their parents. The results of this study also revealed that there were no Non-Profit Organisations that offered grief counselling and built resilience in orphans. As a result of these findings the researcher recommended that the Municipalities should have a department that will employ community workers who will organise communities in order to form Non-Profit-Organisations (NPOs) that will focus on a holistic approach in meeting the needs of orphans. This means these NPOs should use programs that will meet the needs of orphans physically, emotionally and spiritually.en_US
