| dc.description.abstract | Traditional kinship care . is one of alternative childcare with informal systems and services. This study was aimed at exploring traditional kinship care modalities as child welfare system in Wolaita people particular reference to Humbo district. Through pLllposive sampling, data consisted of participant observation, unstructured interviews with 25 participants and researcher field notes. Analysis of data was undertaken with Creswell 's (2003) qualitative inquily and research design choosing among five approaches. So that, the researcher chose ethnographic approach and consisted of coding data initially and an integrative process to develop categories to address the specific objectives stated at the beginning of the study. Thus, through intensive and extensive process of description, analysis, and interpretation, the ethnographic study concludes that the reasons for traditional kinship care practices are poverty, death of parents, instability and migration, insufficiency and ineffectiveness of other alternative cares, over population, and abuse. The study also can eludes the treatment of the children in traditional kinship that they are f eeling loved, valued, and stable, being listened to, sense of belonging, and safe though there are some restrictions. In addition, cultural and religious values as well as social networks-based support and intervention services are the way that traditional kinship modalities solve the problem of OVC so that attitudes of both children in killShip and their caregivers are positive in the care. On the other hand the study identified, risks like; the informality of the system, lack of professional support, legal framework, biases and problems in community elders, and abuse. It is anticipated that this study may lead to encourage the initial steps of resilience against the risks. This would be done by acknowledging th is system by the formal sector kinship care for holistic ch ild welfare system through th e indicated implications so far. | en_US |
