CHAPTER ONE
Introduction
1.1 Background
of the Study
The
orphanage home is one of the numerous social institution that have emerged over
the year to carter for some of the social needs
of orphanage associated with such problems.
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 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 he 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 childpersonality development in
the later parts of his life.
The
Kaduna orphanage home is the birth child of JammiyyarMatanArewa.

first meeting of the JammiyarMatanArewa which took place in the house of
General Hassan UsmanKatsina 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.
1.2 Statement
of the Problem
Children
brought up in the orphanage home cannot cope effectively with the outside world
this display in their dispositions because most of them tend to be introverts
and always want to keep to themselves in few causes they turn out to be
backward in speed and verbal
intelligence.
According
to Segmund Fraud (1945) children who grown
up in the orphanage home may likely to affected in their culture tradition, and religion are their interests belief ambitions ideas and soon thus affecting
the personality development as their
behaviors is not only more indiscriminate but more immature than those children
who are with their natural parent. Hence the increase in various research as to
find out the effectiveness and influence of these home (orphanage home) on the
child personality development.
