Abstract: Children at orphanage are prone to suffer from depression due to their loss of either one or both of their parents. Services offered to these children at orphanage are commonly to cater their material needs such as financial aid and daily necessities including their daily meals. This study was conducted to observe the orphans’ relation with caregivers and the formers’ tendency to share their problems with the latter. This study employed qualitative method and the data was gathered from interview with 10 respondents who resided in Wisma Yatim Islam Perempuan, WYP (Muslim Girls Orphanage) in Penang. The study discovered that all respondents as having close relationship with the caregivers but not all were able to share their problem with the latter due to the large number of resident vis-a-vis the caregivers. Sharing problems for orphans is very important because the children experience such a traumatized phase in their developing period. A positive surrounding will help them to enjoy a normal life like children with parents.
