Abstract

Every human being has the right to an adequate standard of living, and a child is no exception. Currently, the problem of abandoned children is a problem that cannot be solved by the Indonesian government. As a concrete manifestation of the government's efforts and concern in overcoming this problem, the government established Child Welfare Social Institutions such as Child Social Services which are a solution for caregiving services by providing places for abandoned and underprivileged children. This program has a function as a shelter for children. Children are given food and water every day and given education fees, shelter and alternative services that can replace family functions, so that social disorders can be limited as much as possible and children will feel living in their own family environment. Child welfare institutions in general have provided many benefits to children's survival, but at the time of implementation they are often not in accordance with the objectives mandated by the program and the needs of the beneficiaries. So that the welfare or physical, psychological and social and spiritual needs of children are not met.
