This article reports on the findings of a national survey on disadvantaged orphans in Eritrea, one among the 15 poorest countries of the world. The survey is based on 50,782 disadvantaged orphans where the majority of the orphans were paternal orphans followed by material orphans, and a few were complete orphans. The results from the survey found they belonged to extremely poor families, and suffered from various deprivations, including schooling opportunities, medical care, food and clothing, apart from the social and psychological problems of various kinds. A few were also affected by disabilities and chronic health problems. Analysis indicated that various factors such as loss of one parent or both, age, availability of adult care and type of care, economic status, schooling opportunities, age at loss of mother, cause of mother's death, and health status seemed to contribute to the vulnerability of these orphans.
