ABSTRACT
The whole study as shown the general state of being or conditions of orphans and vulnerable children in Edo State. The conditions are deplorable and therefore the children are exposed to neglect, violence, exploitation and all forms of abuse. The major cause of the OVC’s condition is a conflict between maternal and paternal relatives of the children: either separated, divorced, paternal orphaned, maternal orphaned or disruption in the extended family structure. The study indicated that the phenomenon of OVC’s vulnerability is increasing due to many factors including poverty, population explosion, illiteracy, a general breakdown in family values and HIV.
