It areas of interest will include the right to education, health and housing. This paper is divided into five chapters. The first chapter mainly defines who is a child as the paper is concerned with the CRC and the marginalized. A brief history on the rights of the child will be given and there will be mention of other instruments which provide for the rights of a child. Chapter two discusses the Convention on the Rights of the Child and the principles which guide it. The African Charter will be included in this chapter as it is an important instrument which also acknowledges the rights of the child. In this chapter the areas of interest are highlighted. These areas include the right to education, health and Housing. Chapter Three is dedicated towards discussing the life of an orphan in general. It will also give a situational analysis of the orphan may be deprived of his rights to education, health and housing due to inadequate provision of these facilities by the state.
