The focus of this research is the fulfillment of child rights to develop and survival, mainly rights of education.The result shows that after reunification, one youth is not pursuing his study and decided to work because his father could not afford the educational expenses. The result also found that although the parents are economically deprived, but no youth have return to orphanages to receive institution based care. The research found strength of parent and resiliency of children thus keeping the children reside in their family and receive family based care. The strength of parent and child resilience exists because of social work support through case management model of PDAK Save the Children.
