Orphanage, education, Environment, Recreational activities and PolicyAbstract
An orphanage is an institution dedicated to the care and up-bringing of children who have lost
their parent(s). All over the world countries have devised policies and programs for protection
and well being of the orphans. This study aims to analyze Government policies in the orphanages
of District Mardan, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Only one orphanage named Sarhadi Yateem Khana
has been selected for my research and data collection. The main focus of this study is to analyze
the educational, nutritional and recreational aspects of the policy. Similarly a brief view of
environment of the orphanage and interaction between the orphans and caretakers is also taken.
The overall educational and food facilities were satisfactory in the orphanages however there
were gaps between the policy and its actual practice mostly regarding skill development, career
counseling and menu system. Having a detailed analysis some recommendations have been given
at the end
