“…Although there are exceptions and good examples of research that highlights the contradictions and complexity (e.g. Nyamukapa & Gregson, 2005 ; Pagnier, Kurzinger, Kahn, Kone, Hampshire & Dye, 2008 ), a growing number of commentators agree that there is a tendency to focus on the negative effects of HIV and orphanhood ( Andrews, Skinner & Zuma, 2006 ; Ennew, 2005 ; Meintjes & Giese, 2006 ; Skovdal, 2012 ) and call for greater attention to the resilience of children and youths living in resource-poor and HIV-affected communities ( Betancourt, Meyers-Ohki, Charrow & Hansen, 2012 ; Skovdal, 2012 ).…”

Many children and youths living in low-resource and high-HIV-prevalence communities in sub-Saharan Africa are presented with daily hardships that few of us can even imagine. It is therefore no surprise that most research reporting on the experiences of HIV-affected children in resource-poor settings focuses on their poor health and development outcomes, casting them as victims. However, there is a growing trend to draw on more strengths-based conceptualisations in the study and support of HIV-affected children and youths. In this introduction to a special issue of The African Journal of AIDS Research, we cement this trend by providing a theoretical exposition and critique of the ‘coping’ and ‘resilience’ concepts and draw on the 11 empirical studies that make up this special issue to develop a framework that appropriates the concepts for a particular context and area of study: HIV-affected children in sub-Saharan Africa. The articles included here show, albeit in different ways and to different degrees, that the resilience of HIV-affected children in the region is an outcome of their agency and interactions with their social environment. Policy actors and practitioners working to support HIV-affected children in Africa should take heed of the proposed framework and draw on the research presented here to build coping-enabling social environments—presenting children and youths in Africa with greater opportunity to actively deal with hardship and work towards a more promising future.

“…Entrepreneurship can create jobs and ultimately increase people's income (Bhegawati, 2022;Khamimah, 2021). Thus, Omah Cilik is not just a daycare, but a safety net and family substitute that allows each child to gain knowledge and skills and keeps them away from social disturbances (Pagnier et al, 2008).…”

This research aims to explore in depth the social entrepreneurship education activities of Omah Pak Cilik, the Gerakan Kebaikan community in livestock-based entrepreneurial activities for orphans, including constructing the meaning and reality behind the emergence of these programs and collaboration. The research method used was phenomenological with a qualitative approach. For collecting the data, this research used interviews, direct observation, and directed dialogue with the founder of Omah Pak Cilik, the Actor for the Good Movement, and Orphans. The validity of the research data was obtained through triangulation and then analyzed using the Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) approach. This study found that 1) Omah Pak Cilik cooperated with the kindness movement community to organize a KUB Chicken Farm business to solve economic problems, starting with providing understanding related to entrepreneurship to orphans so that an entrepreneurial spirit grows, 2) Orphans were given education and training related to business management and sales skills. 3) The result changed the mindset of orphans for entrepreneurship, improving the economy, and establishing partnerships.

AIDS-Affected Orphans in Sub-Saharan Africa: A Scoping Review on Outcome Differences in Rural and Urban Environments

Currently, there are more than 11 million AIDS-affected orphans that suffer from various adverse effects, most of whom reside in sub-Saharan Africa. The difference between whether a child resides in a rural or urban environment can have a significant role in a child's education, health status and access to healthcare, and social or family relationships. A scoping review was conducted in order to understand any possible environment-based differences on orphans directly affected by HIV/AIDS in sub-Saharan Africa. There were 233 sources used for this review; however, 164 manuscripts focused more so on a general review of orphans within a rural or urban environment. Thus, after eliminating for various factors, 69 manuscripts were removed, which focused primarily on the social aspect of orphans due to HIV/AIDS. Rural environments provided more family support, while urban environments generally had more resources available to orphans (e.g. school fees). Unfortunately, both rural and urban environments were found to be fairly non-supportive of orphans and their development. This scoping review found, in general, that orphans in both urban and rural environments continue to suffer from the consequential effects of low parental support due to AIDS mortality. These conclusions suggest that specific support to orphans through school and social relationships encourage better development outcomes in sub-Saharan Africa.
