Orphaned children are vulnerable in many ways; hence, they require special care andrnsupport. The purpose of this research was to investigate the psychosocial statusrn(problems, coping and resilience) of these children and the support provided to them .rnThe paper also attempted to compare the experiences of younger and older children onrnthese issues. A Sample of 66 full orphnned-children (younger==31, 0Ider==35) werernconsidered for data collection (girls==31, boys==35). Structured interview and focusrngroup discussions were the tools used for data collection. In addition, data wererncollected fronz guardians' interview and focus group discussions.rnFindings suggested that sick parents did not openly communicate with their childrenrnabout their disease and hence children had little death expectation. After parentalrndeath, it is the guardians who played decisive role in the life of the orphaned-children.rnDuring parental death, younger children did not show any clear reaction but obsessedrnwith the event and older children get disturbed as if it was the end of their life andrnexpressed their deep sorrow. Sometime latter, orphaned-children securely attached tornguardians; because of the confidence they built on. Thus, children become resilientrnwhile living withJheir guardians. Of course, in some instances, this resilience seemsrnto be threatened like when, for example, facing discrimination by outsiders or whenrndead parents 'were insulted. Besides guardians' all rounded support, NGOs are alsornproviding economic support by covering education fee, buying uniforms andrnrendering token money on monthly basis that can minimize family expenses .
