dc.description.abstractResearch literature indicates that the rise of mortality rates among adults due to poverty, HIV/AIDS, crime, violence and motor-vehicle accidents has led to the increase of orphaned and vulnerable children (OVC). This increase of orphaned and vulnerable children has in turn contributed to the increase in numbers of child-headed households (CHH). In the face of this increase of orphaned children, extended families' resources have become depleted, resulting in their inability and reluctance to take in their relatives' orphaned children once the parents pass away.
