The increasing hardship because of the present economic recession has increased the incidence of burden family relationship and the consequent loss of firm control of family members.

This has tended as evidence by the increasing number of abandoned babies such babies have become the central focus of the orphanage home the impact of orphanage home on child personality development that is the behaviour pattern of social behariour on child personality development.

The research try to compare children between the age of one (1) month to three (3) years that grows up in orphanage home to those that grow-up with their parent children from the orphanage behave in a unique pattern thereby displaying some certain social behaviour attitude that could be associated with the up bringing in the orphanage home. I want to find out the positive and negative aspect of orphanage home on children personality development generally. Any baby that lost his or her parent especially the mother by what every means become mentally ill once it is discovered the illness is taken from the mother by the orphanage children abandon in hospital or on the street are taken to the orphanage home.
Social welfare services and training of professional social workers of all categories social workers can succeed out making their contribution towards realizing their objective of government in improving people welfare only after they have keenly understood the problem.

The causes and the effect of those people on the community the desertation is an attempt toward such changes taking place and their documentation the study will focus on the impact of the orphanage home on child personality development in the later parts of his life.

The Kaduna orphanage home is the birth child of Jammiyyar Matan Arewa.

The Jamiyar Matan Arewa itself is a social organization of northern women established on the 27th May 1963 it was aimed at unifying the women folk and providing them with a forum of welfare activities.

The organization was to be non-political and it membership was to be opened to all tribes religions or social status at the very first meeting of the Jammiyar Matan Arewa which took place in the house of General Hassan Usman Katsina a steering committee was set up to carry on the task of mobilizing women for the association and also to plan and organize fund raising activities to meet up the financial obligation of the association.

An orphanage is an institution that houses children whose parents are deceased or whose whereabouts are unknown. It is a public institution created to provide care and protection for children without parents. Simply put, an orphanage is a residential institution devoted to the care of large numbers of children. The first orphanages, called “orphanotrophia”, were founded by the Catholic Church in the 1st century amid various alternative means of orphan support. The Jewish law, for instance, prescribed care for the widow and the orphan, and the Athenian law supported all orphans of those killed in military service until the age of eighteen. Plato (Laws, 927), as cited in The Catholic Encyclopedia, Volume XI, says: “Orphans should be placed under the care of public guardians. Men should have a fear of the loneliness of orphans and of the souls of their departed parents. A man should love the unfortunate orphan of whom he is guardian as if he were his own child. He should be as careful and as diligent in the management of the orphan’s property as of his own or even more careful still.” The care of orphans was referred to bishops and, during the Middle Ages, to monasteries. Many orphanages practiced some form of “binding-out” in which children, as soon as they were old enough, were given as apprentices to households. This would ensure their support and their learning an occupation.

Motherless babies have nowadays become common because of the moral decadence of the society young people who cannot cater for themselves find themselves put in the family way they end up find abandoning those innocent helpless babies. The increasing hardship because of the present economic recession has increased the incidence of burden family relationship and the consequent loss of firm control of family members. This has tended as evidence by the increasing number of abandoned babies such babies have become the central focus of the orphanage home the impact of orphanage home on child personality development that is the behaviour pattern of social behaviour on child personality development.

This study will focus on the impact of the orphanage home on child personality development in the later parts of his life.

Orphans, by virtue of their circumstances, face a myriad of vulnerabilities and in most cases, when there is no adequate support; they find it very difficult to cope with these risks or the stress that arises from the inability to cope.
