Challenges families face when caring for Orphans and Vulnerable Children They already have children to take care of in addition to orphans that they take in. Caregivers might be depressed by the state of the HIV epidemic, leading to depression. There is stigma and fear associated with AIDS, which can have an isolating affect on families. Caregivers may not be able to take care of their own needs in addition to a child’s needs. Caregivers may lose social networks and the ability to cope with challenges.
