ensure children's survival and holistic development. This study was guided by the interest theory. Data wa
collected from 34 purposefully sampled caregivers using semi-srructured inclividual interviews. Views from the
caregivers showed that poor funding and malfunctioning of government social protection programmes, evident
in all seven selected children's homes, contributed to the poor implementation of provision rights. Recommendations
are made to minimise the associated risks and promote the fulfilment of provision rights in Harare's
children's homes.
