 Who is  an Orphan?

The word orphan comes from Greek (orphanos), and Late Latin (orphanus) meaning a "child whose parents are dead."

​

According to the on-line Encyclopaedia Britannica and the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, an orphan is: a child deprived by death of one or usually both parents.

 

Our Definition of an Orphan and vulnerable Children!

- An OVC is someone whose parents have died, are unknown, or have permanently abandoned them. In common usage, only a child who has lost both parents due to death.

​

the Nigerian Constitution defines an orphan as a child (0-17 years) who has lost one or both parents, the National Plan of Action provides a much more comprehensive and inclusive definition of OVC.

​

The World Bank defines OVC as children who are.

·         orphaned

·         separated from their parents

·         living with caretakers with serious problems like illness, disabilities, trauma, substance addictions, abusive habits, or

·         having normal families, but special needs that even well-functioning parents will need help to address (trauma, disability, behavioral problems).
