Abstract

This study aims to understand the meaning of happiness among orphans living at the Kemuliaan Orphanage, located on Jl. Dagang, Pandau Jaya, Siak Hulu District, Kampar Regency. A phenomenological approach was employed to explore the subjective experiences of orphans in perceiving happiness during their time at the orphanage.The study involved three orphaned children residing at the orphanage. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and participatory observation, then analyzed using phenomenological analysis techniques.The findings reveal that happiness for these orphans tends to be internal and emotional in nature. Their sense of happiness is closely linked to their relationships with caregivers, peers, as well as their feelings of safety and acceptance within the orphanage environment. They define happiness not in material terms, but through relational and emotional experiences encountered in their daily lives. This research illustrates how a phenomenological approach can be effectively used to gain a deeper understanding of the meaning of happiness from the perspective of orphaned children.
