Abstract:
SummaryA growing body of research suggests that orphanhood and fostering might be (independently) associated with educational disadvantage in sub-Saharan Africa. However, literature on the impacts of orphanhood and fostering on school enrolment, attendance and progress produces equivocal, and often conflicting, results. This paper reports on quantitative and qualitative data from sixteen field-sites in Ghana and Malawi, highlighting the importance of historical and social context in shaping schooling outcomes for fostered and orphaned children. In Malawi, which has been particularly badly affected by AIDS, orphans were less likely to be enrolled in and attending school than other children. By contrast, in Ghana, with its long tradition of ‘kinship fostering’, orphans were not significantly educationally disadvantaged; instead, non-orphaned, purposively fostered children had lower school enrolment and attendance than their peers. Understanding the context of orphanhood and fostering in relation to schooling is crucial in achieving ‘Education for All’.

Abstract:
Karen Healy uses the term reflection in action to refer to processes of refining knowledge in action so as to promote new ways of responding to the problems we encounter in practice. Thus, social work entails working with different people with different non routine challenges that needs reflective action to be dealt with effectively. The importance of reflection in social work cannot be overtly emphasised. After experiencing an emotional circumstance or situation, in reflecting, and through these experiences we can ably find valuable options for professional development. This process is very much in line with critical incident method. This method is described as both an emotional and cognitive process, proceeding from lower to higher levels of reflection, from analysing the experiences to conceptualizing new knowledge.

Abstract:
In the twentieth century, concern with child welfare resulted in one of the fastest growing social movements in the West. From the establishment of the Save the Children Fund in the UK at the close of the First World War, to the setting up of United Nations Children's Fund following the Second, to the near universal ratification of the Convention on the Rights of the Child in 1989, the child welfare movement has been marked by a concern with children internationally. In the last seventeen years, since the ratification of the convention, interest in the welfare of children in the developing world has grown dramatically. Children's welfare appeared in the 1997 UK Government white paper on international development, the World Bank suggested that child welfare was a useful development indicator, and large numbers of non-governmental-organisations were established (Boyden 1990). In Southern Africa, as a result of the HIV/AIDS pandemic, the close of the twentieth century saw increasing numbers of orphans appearing. As international concern regarding the social impacts of HIV/AIDS has risen, these orphans have become an issue of particular concern (Aspaas 1997). As a result of both the increasing interest in children's lives in general and the concern with orphans in particular, there are now a number of organisations specialising in orphan care (World Bank 2004, US Peace Corps 2004). These projects constitute a new social arena within which children live at least part of their daily lives. This thesis is an exploration of the social significance of four orphan-care projects functioning in Malawi. The analysis is made by looking at the identity of orphan as a social construct that has various uses, meanings and symbols attached to it and as a set of experiences that occur to children who have lost, through death, one or both of their parents.

Abstract:
Introduction: Due to HIV/AIDS epidemic, Malawi experienced a proliferation of orphans. These orphans are experiencing difficulties in meeting the basic necessities of daily life. Hence, donors have increased funding, Government has developed new policies for children and orphans and many civil society organisations are providing services to orphans. However, there is a paucity of research to establish the responsiveness of these initiatives to the needs of orphans. Purpose: The aim of this thesis was to assess how child-related policies and service delivery were responding to the needs of orphans. The research was designed to identify weaknesses and strengths in service delivery and policy design with the intention of proposing strategies and making recommendations to better address the needs of orphans. Methods: In 2010, 72 in-depth interviews were conducted in Blantyre and Lilongwe districts in Malawi. These comprised of 16 orphans aged 13-16 years, 12 caregivers, 12 national service providers and 13 policy makers. In addition, 12 interviews were conducted with participants playing both policy and service provision roles. Seven focus group discussions were conducted with district and community service providers. Government policies were also reviewed. Data were analysed using framework analysis. Findings: Food was found to be the most critical need among orphans, followed by financial security for meeting needs autonomously. Child-related polices did not fully guide service implementation due to weak policy coordination, lack of alignment between structures stipulated in policy and structures used in for policy implementation, poor policy design and limited participation of service users and stakeholders in policy development and implementation. Non-comprehensive services, poor service integration, inequitable service delivery, inaccessible services and insufficient resources were found to undermine service responsiveness to orphans’ needs. Recommendations: To improve orphan related policies and service delivery, policies and services should focus on improving service coordination, resource mobilisation and policy design. Donors and non-governmental organisations should operate within Government plans, priorities and implementation structures. Services should prioritise food and household income generation strategies.

This thesis is based on a series of interviews with key informants and a census of orphan households in Nguludi Mission Community, Southern Malawi, in 2000. The thesis argues that although HIV/AIDS is a relatively recent phenomenon, any contemporary understanding of the epidemic must be informed by an understanding of the past. The impact of the HIV/AIDS epidemic and the "orphan problem" at the local level, is, therefore, situated within the broader socio-economic context of the history of the region.

Abstract:
PURPOSE: This qualitative study explores the day-to-day care experiences and livelihoods challenges of the elderly carers of orphan and vulnerable children (OVCs) in rural Chiradzuru district in Malawi. The study aims to highlight the impact of AIDS mortality on Elderly Households’ livelihood assets. METHOD: Using case study approach data was collected from 43 cases comprised of 23 individuals and 3 Focus Groups. The main study participants were elderly-headed households caring for OVCs. Data was collected and the evidence converged using the Sustainable Livelihood Framework (SLF) to analyse findings. FINDINGS: The main ten study participants were between the ages 55-90+ caring for thirty-eight OVCs; seven of whom were single females caring for OVCs aged between 2-16 years old-some of them caring for second generation of orphans(great grandchildren). Although this is crisis-led fostering, most of the elderly have accepted the responsibility regardless of their capabilities. This highlights the value of family based care in these families. Six of the ten elderly carers had lost a significant number of assets to AIDS sickness and death of family members. A few had given up their wage earning livelihoods to care for OVCs while for the very old (71-90) their physical old-age disabilities affected pursuance of livelihoods impacting their food security and acquisition of basic needs. There was mutual reciprocity between the OVCs and their carers to pursue livelihoods which increased household resilience. Conclusion: The elderly in Chiradzuru need social security support so that they must not give up care of their children to alternative care arrangements which can contribute to trauma on OVCs.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis explores grandfathers’ caregiving for orphaned grandchildren in rural Southern Malawi. Using an ethnographic approach informed by intersectionality and situated within interpretivist framework, children, young people, and adults from rural impoverished communities of Zomba District were engaged in multiple participatory research activities to collect empirical data as evidence about their views and experiences on/of the topic. The findings suggest that although grandfathers are on the periphery of research and policy on grandparenting in Malawi and other regions of sub-Saharan Africa, they are incontrovertibly at the epicentre of their orphaned grandchildren’s lives. They are providers for their orphaned grandchildren, support their formal education, and are key to intergenerational transmission of knowledge and values through socialisation (informal education), roles which are characterised by intersections of, inter alia, culture, gender, age, physical health, generation, and poverty. Paradoxically, despite performing myriad caring roles in the plain sight of their communities, grandfathers remain largely invisible because of gendered conceptions of care. Subsequently, many grandfathers are systematically excluded from social support programmes, thus highlighting the social exclusion of grandfathers [men] who find themselves in roles not associated with hegemonic notions of masculinities in their communities. This social exclusion from welfare programmes may negatively impact their orphaned grandchildren’s development. Thus, there is need for greater recognition of grandfathers alongside other carers of orphans, and their targeting in social policy and programmes to benefit and assist orphans, particularly to offset livelihood challenges facing grandfathers. Ultimately, this would improve the lives of their orphaned grandchildren. Given the paucity of research on grandfathers’ caregiving for orphaned grandchildren in sub-Saharan Africa, further research is needed to interrogate, inter alia, gendered conceptions of care, gendered social support, and the plight of orphans raised by grandfathers in impoverished communities such as those that participated in this study.

Abstract:
In Malawi, where a policy of Free Primary Education has been in place for more than fifteen years, relatively few children have never attended school. However, despite high initial enrolments, primary education in Malawi is inefficient, with high dropout and low completion rates. Against a context of underlying poverty, research suggests that many of the children in Malawi denied adequate access to education are those orphaned or made vulnerable by HIV/AIDS. Evidence from Malawi and neighbouring countries indicates that not enough is being done in schools to support vulnerable children in the context of HIV/AIDS and that a powerful argument can be made for new, more flexible models of formal schooling that reach out to young people who face educational exclusion. This doctoral study was part of a wider, three-year collaborative research project working in high HIV prevalence countries to address issues of educational access. It used a sequential, mixed methods design to examine the extent to which a more flexible model of formal schooling that integrates open and distance learning (ODL) strategies with face-to-face teaching and psychosocial support can improve educational access and retention of orphaned and other vulnerable children in rural Malawi. This study identifies and explores household, school and peer-related factors that influence the access and retention of children affected by HIV/AIDS, and confirm the very limited support provided by primary schools. These findings were used to contextualise and inform the development of a school-based intervention to implement a flexible model of schooling; thereafter trialed in 20 sampled schools in two selected districts in Malawi. This doctoral study demonstrates the potential of flexible learning to enhance learning experiences, bring psychosocial benefits and help improve retention of vulnerable pupils in primary schools in high HIV prevalence communities in rural Malawi, with important, positive spill-over effects to pupils at risk of dropout. It also argues that effective innovation requires strategies to create an enabling environment and promote an inclusive philosophy within schools. Further insights were drawn from the perspectives of actors on the benefits, shortfalls and outcomes of the intervention, as well as the successes and challenges of the implementation process. A synthesis and discussion of the empirical findings in relation to the wider literature explores the possibilities for introducing more flexible modes of educational delivery and support within formal schooling.

Abstract:
L'incidence des maladies hépatiques est en augmentation, ce qui rend urgente la recherche de systèmes de vectorisation d'agents thérapeutiques vers le foie. La maladie sur laquelle porte notre étude est la maladie orpheline de Wilson. Elle induit une accumulation de cuivre (Cu) principalement dans les hépatocytes et les chélateurs de Cu systémiques utilisés à ce jour pour la traiter présentent de nombreux effets secondaires. C'est dans ce contexte que nous proposons une stratégie innovante qui consiste à piéger sélectivement le cuivre en excès dans les cellules hépatiques. Des chélateurs sélectifs du Cu(I), degré d'oxydation du Cu disponible intracellulaire, ont été conçus. Afin de cibler ces derniers vers les cellules hépatiques, nous avons focalisé notre intérêt sur le récepteur aux asialoglycoprotéines (ASGP-R), une lectine abondamment et presque exclusivement exprimée à la membrane des hépatocytes.Deux familles de glycoconjugués contenant une unité de ciblage associée à une unité de vectorisation des hépatocytes ont été développées : l'une possède une plateforme cyclodécapeptidique et l'autre une plateforme pseudopeptidique d'architecture tripodale. Les unités de ciblage sont composées de N-acétylgalactosamines présentés de manière multivalente, permettant une reconnaissance et une endocytose sélective des glycoconjugués dans les hépatocytes par l'intermédiaire de la lectine ASGP R. Les deux familles de composés ont montré leur capacité à entrer dans les cellules hépatiques et à faire diminuer le taux de Cu intracellulaire disponible.L'objectif de ce travail de thèse est l'étude et l'optimisation du système de ciblage. Les efficacités d'internalisation des deux familles de glycoconjugués dans les hépatocytes sont pour cela comparée. En outre, l'influence de la structure moléculaire des glycoconjugués sur l'efficacité de ciblage est étudiée. Plusieurs glycoconjugués appartenant à chacune des deux familles de composés ont donc été synthétisés, et leur propriétés d'internalisation dans les hépatocytes humains analysée par cytométrie en flux
Regarding the increasing incidence of liver diseases in the past decades, the discovery of drug delivery systems is becoming a major research area. In particular, the Wilson disease is a liver dysfunction, which needs more specific treatments than those available nowadays. This genetic disorder induces a toxic copper overload in the hepatocytes. Because current copper chelating therapies present many side effects due to their lack of specificity, we propose an innovative strategy that would selectively detoxify copper in liver cells. Since excess intracellular Cu is in the +I oxidation state, we figured that a chelator that would enter the hepatocytes and be specific for Cu(I) could represent an efficient strategy. To selectively target the hepatic cells, we focus our interest on a lectin, which is highly and exclusively expressed in the membrane of the hepatocytes: the asialoglycoprotein receptor (ASGP-R).Two different kinds of glycoconjugates that contain a Cu(I) chelating unit associated to liver targeting systems have been obtained : one has a cyclodecapeptide scaffold and the other a tripodal pseudopeptide core. The targeting units are composed of N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc) residues multivalently presented, allowing the selective recognition and endocytosis of the glyconconjugates thanks to ASGP-R. These two families of molecules were demonstrated to enter hepatocytes and to chelate intracellular copper.The aim of the present work is to study and optimise the targeting system. We have compared the efficiency of the targeting systems of the two families of molecules. Moreover the influence of several structural parameters on the internalisation efficiency was determined. Several compounds belonging to cyclodecapeptide and tripode families have been synthesised, and their ability to enter in human hepatocytes has been analysed by flow cytometry

Abstract:
Les maladies rares sont d’identification récente. Elles posent de nombreuses difficultés diagnostiques parce qu'encore mal connues par le corps médical. Elles se présentent parfois par des symptômes que nous avons nommés comme disqualifiants parce que principalement subjectifs et sans manifestation objectivable ou visible par la biologie ou l’imagerie. Notre travail est au carrefour de la philosophie et de la psychologie sociale. Nous avons travaillé à partir du vécu de 16 malades qui ont participé à notre recherche par un entretien semi-dirigé. Les grandes thématiques de leur vécu ont ainsi pu être identifiées : l'expérience pathique de l’éprouvé, les modèles de représentation, les métaphores utilisées pour dire la génétique et la rareté, le lien avec le corps médical et l'expérience sociale des maladies. Pour les personnes atteintes, ces maladie rares ne sont ni des maladies ni des handicaps, mais un entre-deux.Compte tenu que 80 % des maladies rares sont d'origine génétique, nous avons exploré comment cette dimension intervient dans le vécu de la maladie rare. L'imaginaire de la génétique est encore très prégnant, évoquant l'origine causale linéaire de la maladie et tous les espoirs de guérison. Il est souvent associé à une représentation de l'erreur, de la faute ou de la malformation qui est survenue lors de la fécondation. C'est avec toutes ces représentations que les malades vont devoir reconstruire leur vie bouleversée par l'existence de la maladie pour laquelle malheureusement encore le plus souvent il n'existe pas de thérapeutique. Ce parcours nous a conduit à envisager une médecine qui intégrerait une médecine de l'incertitude et reconnaîtrait les limites de la connaissance médicale. À terme, cette médecine devrait pouvoir devenir celle de l’adaptabilité soutenant le travail d'adaptation du malade qui doit trouver le chemin pour continuer d’être un vivant malgré les limites imposées par la maladie. Sur ce chemin parfois très long, la narration, l’échange des savoirs et une importante solidarité entre malades au sein des associations de patients soutiennent les capacités du malade à se reconstruire comme sujet, lui ouvrant la possibilité de vivre son destin comme une destinée
Rare diseases have only recently been identified. They set up quite a lot of diagnostic difficulties because not well-known yet by the medical profession .They sometimes occure by (ou bien with? With symptoms we named as being disqualifying because mainly subjective and without any outbreak possibly objective or evident by biology or medical imaging.Our work is at the crossroad of philosophy and social psychology. Week-end worked on the base of actual experience of 16 sick patients cases who took part in our research through semi-managed talks. So,main themes of their actual current experience could be identified : the pathological of the suffering person, the models of representation,the images used to express the genetics and the rare case, the link with the medical profession and the social experience of the diseases. For the patients concerned,these rare diseases are neither diseases nor handicaps but in-between cases.Taking into account that 80% of rare diseases have a genetique genetic origine origin ,we explored how this theory involves in the way it is lived. The imaginary of genetics still is still very pregnant,calling forth the causal linear origin of the disease and all hopes for recovery .It is often connected to a representation of the error,the fault or the malformation that happened at the time of fecondation. It is with all these representations that patients will have to rebuild their life,upset by the disease against which unfortunately more often most of the time ,no therapy exists yet. This research lead us to view a therapy that would combine a therapy of uncertainty and admit the limits of medical knowledge. In the end, this therapy should be able to become the therapy of an adaptation supporting the adaptability work of the patient who has to find his way to keep being a human person. in spite of the limits compelled by the disease. All along this sometimes very long way, the exchange of knowledge and an amazing solidarity among the patients within the associations back up the patient's capacities to rebuild himself as a subject, giving him the possibility of living his fate as a destiny

Full text
Abstract:
Introduction: the number of orphans world wide including Malawi, has increased greatly due to the Acquired Immune-Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS). The increased number of orphans has led to the development of community based strategies for continuity of care to orphans. People in various communities offer themselves as volunteers to care for the orphans with an aim to providing the best care possible. Due to the increased number of orphans, the caretakers are challenged in the provision of care, to promote the health status of the children. Purpose: The purpose of the study was to determine the knowledge and health information needs of caretakers in orphan care at the Mphatso day care centre in Lilongwe, Malawi. Methodology: A descriptive qualitative approach was used to determine the knowledge and health information needs of caretakers of orphans. Using a descriptive qualitative research method, the researcher interviewed eight participants working as volunteers at Mphatso Orphan Day Care Centre in Lilongwe, Malawi. Data analysis: In the study, a general content analysis approach was used. In this approach, the audio taped data were transcribed verbatim and translated from Chichewa to English soon after data collection prior to the next day of interview. Transcribing verbatim was done by listening to the tape recorded interviews several times until all the data were captured. Data were thereafter, displayed, reduced and organized into categories and sub categories. Results: Results generated from the study revealed that the caretakers benefit from training prior to the adoption of the caring role. The caretakers were also knowledgeable about the health challenges of the orphans, the concept of caring and health information needs that can help them provide the best care possible to the orphans. Conclusion: Children are facing the tragedy oflosing one or both parents to AIDS. Ifone parent is infected with HIV, there is a high probability that the other parent is also infected and so the entire family faces the threat of illness and later on death. Despite the death of these parents, the children left behind require the continuity of care. Volunteers shoulder the responsibility of caring for the children left by the deceased families. As such, there is need to support those who have dedicated their time to the orphans. Apart from material and financial resources, there is need to support the caretakers of orphans in institutions of care with health information relevant to orphan care.

Abstract:
In Malawi, as elsewhere in southern Africa, faith-based organisations (FBOs) have been integrated in the official response to HIV/AIDS. This new role, and the funding that accompanies it, has professionalised their traditional care activities around AIDS patients, widows and orphans, and it has also put them in charge of HIV prevention. As HIV preventers, they are asked to bridge epistemic differences between conflicting notions of sexuality and morality by reconciling public health messages, Christian teachings and local cosmologies. This becomes challenging when it comes to the question of sexuality education, specifically the promotion of abstinence, and condom use. Many FBO leaders’ response to this challenge is nuanced and defies stereotypes, as they try to balance their concern for young people, the demands of donors and the moral imperatives of their faith.
