Abstract
This study was conducted in Aasha ko kiran (AKOK) on the Orphans. A
sample of 49 children (24 girls and 25 boys) out of 52 children’s was taken. The main
objective of this thesis is to find out the situation and socialization activity in AKOK
and to provide appropriate suggestion for their bright future. Both exploratory and
descriptive research design were used to understand the socialization process in the
mainstream and the cultural values of AKOK Orphanages worldwide are responsible
for providing the support and resources for a holistic development in the lives of
children. The findings of this thesis offer important clarity on the most common
practices that AKOK offer to care for orphans. Findings reveal common practices in
education, health, finances, and the staffing structure. Various methods such as:
interview, observation, photographs and case study were used for the data collection.
This study offers unique qualitative data from orphanage directors across various
sites. It is gratifying to mention that most orphanages are supposed to be giving good
care to children and some may not be running properly but as far as the management
of AKOK is concerned it was providing admirable facilities to the children living in
the orphanage. They were found to have been given good food. The children were
found to regard the higher officials and other staff of the organization as their loving
guardians. Another remarkable fact found in this orphanage is that though there are
both girls and boys they have affinity in them and they regard them like the members
of the same family brothers and sisters. The findings of this study reveal the status of
extant practices in orphanages of AKOK. Future studies should follow these findings
to measure the quality and effectiveness of the common practices in AKOK.
