Spearman correlation analysis was used to establish the relationship between care giving relationships and orphan’s psychosocial life. Binary logistic regression analysis was used to predict the effects of care giving relations on orphan’s psychosocial life. Findings indicated positive significant correlation on nature of care giving relationship and orphan’s psychosocial life. Orphaned children in insecure care giving relations.
