Abstract
Institutional care for orphaned and vulnerable children stirs lots of debates in the contemporary child welfare discourse. The vulnerability of children in institutional care to physical, sexual and in some instances psychological abuses has been well documented. Therefore, this study aimed to establish the impact of the psychosocial experiences of OVCs living in institutionalized care. The data in the study was collected qualitatively through a case study investigation in which the management, primary caregivers and institutionalized children in two East London Children's Homes were interviewed.
