| dc.description.abstract | The study was conducted on individuals who were raised up in Kechene orphanage and reintegrated to the society of Addis Ababa. The purpose of this study is to explore and describe the integration challenges after they left the institution and integrated to the wider society of Addis Ababa. Kechene orphanage is home only for girls so that all the study participants were females. Qualitative approach has been employed so that it is exploratory and descriptive by nature. Purposive sampling technique was employed to select informants. A total of ten respondents were involved in the study. Primary and secondary data collection method was used. Primary data was collected from the study participants through in-depth interview and focus group discussion. Secondary data was collected from published and unpublished journals, books and documents. The finding of this study showed that death of both or either of parents is the main reason for institutionalization of the orphans. Orphanage life impacts the life of orphans by isolating them from the society and leads them to be stranger for the societal life. By the time they leave the orphanage, they suffer from lack of skills to integrate to the society and encounter cultural conflicts | en_US |
