Studies on abandoned children have shown that they become souces of abandonment to thier children. Even if they break free of the socio-political issues in thier immediate environment, the psycological abandonment and attatchment issues are just as much of a obstacle to live.

Affected by the drastic socio-political and economic circumstances in this country and other African countries; orphaned children in Hillbrow find themselves as victims of volitility and bread winners to thier siblings.
