The children served by Wiphan are considered to be single orphans if they have lost one parent through death or abandonment or double orphans if they have lost both parents. Life in the compounds can be difficult and dangerous for orphans. They have the least value in the eyes of their community and often experience rejection. Relatives are expected to care for them, but are often struggling to care for their own families. Orphans not in school are vulnerable to physical or sexual abuse, child labor or sex trafficking.
