There is nothing more traumatic for a child than to see a parent die. Added to this tragedy is the loss of adult guidance or custodian. In 2005, the United Nations reported that there was an estimated 132 million orphans in sub Saharan Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean. This figure, according to UN represents not only children who have lost both parents but also those who have lost a father but have a surviving mother or have lost their mother but have a surviving father.
For operators of orphanages, it has been loud lamentations over lack or shortage of finance and other materials to properly take care of the abandoned children. “The school, we have students that are even in the university and one graduated and is already working. Another is in four hundred level and one would be going to Nassarawa State University by February next year. So, we appreciate your coming.
“Other challenges: If you look at our vehicles, they are almost obsolete. We do not even have utility vehicles. We have buses. One is grounded and another is working but just halfway, it is down. The hostels are in order. The female hostel is there. The male hostel is there and we have nannies that take care of them.
