Abstract
Where do you go when your house isn’t home? 140 million children worldwide are orphans and 95% are over the age of 5. These children seek for the “home” a family should give. The poverty of affection and solidarity is the lack of love and support that every child should have. These main factors regarding the growth and development of a child were taken away by their own families. The researchers used image selection and story-telling wherein participants were asked to define love and happiness through pictures and write their story. Open-ended question is the instrument used in the study. The researchers aimed to answer the following: a.) How is poverty interpreted by orphans? b.) What are the lived experiences of orphans in dealing poverty? The participants defined poverty, not as a hindrance but an opportunity for them to improve their lives. Looking at the profile of the orphans, they are motivated to move forward and live their lives to the fullest. As for their lived experiences, they were nurtured and were given all the needs they should get. Also, they were able to socialize and have the freedom to live a normal life. Poverty paved way for the participants to discover wider opportunities for them to improve themselves as well as overcome their experiences from the past.
