This book examines the lives of children and young adults living in
residential care systems in Zimbabwe and their unique
conceptualization of family. While the importance of family for the
development and wellbeing of children can't be overemphasized, the
questions of what and who counts as family to orphans and
vulnerable children (OVCs) are under-researched. Gwenzi brings a
social constructionist approach to study OVCs in institutional care
as well as living with their families in Zimbabwe, finding that
they do not have a single definition of family and that they use
diverse characteristics to describe what family means to them. With
the data suggesting a need for belonging, continuity of
relationships, protection, and trust, this study makes
recommendations for policy and practice with youth in alternative
care in sub-Saharan Africa.
