This paper is a literature review on the conditions of orphans in Kenya. It discusses the oppression faced by children due to the high HIV and AIDS rates in sub-Saharan African countries. These children have often lost security, safety and hope for the future. The majority of the children orphaned due to the HIV/AIDS crisis do not receive orphan-targeted support services. This analysis includes a discussion of the concept of oppression, as well as a discussion of how child welfare can sometimes act as an oppressive system.
