In their villages they stay with grand parents who are unable to support them because of their old ages. This means that food is also scarce to such children. The orphans' problems might be worse if both prents are dead already. In a situation where one parent is still living, the child is a bit comfortable but it will not take long because money will be spend on the ill parent - so when the parent finally dies,the children are left with no money to carry on with life. During winter time it is very pathetic to see children walking to school without warm clothes because they do not have.
Children start to live hard life at a very young age.
When a child suffers so much and is bitter,sometimes he doesn't care about his own life. He feels unwanted and of very little importance. Girls mostly will suffer under the sugar daddies who pretend to help them by buying lunch, giving them a few dollars - all done to get the chance of using and infecting them with HIV if they are positive.
