- Description
- Presents descriptive data from two South African communities, namely Kopanong, in the Free State and Kanana in the North West province, characterising the differences between orphans (double, maternal and paternal) and non-orphans on key criteria of social vulnerability. Finds that children assessed in this study as being most in need were not accessing adequately many services directed at them.
