| Abstract | Orphanhood is a depressing status in life time that one would wish never to occur in any family set up due to its adverse effects. Despite the vulnerable status of the orphaned learners, every child in Kenya has a right to quality education that should lead to good performance and achievement of Universal Primary Education (UPE). Due to their vulnerability, majority of orphaned learners are widely affected and unable to attain good performance. However there are exceptional cases where some orphaned learners perform well and attain high marks which enable them to join good secondary schools and pursue their education very well. The study therefore assessed coping strategies by such exceptional orphaned learners and their academic achievement in Winam Division in Kisumu County. Descriptive survey design was used in the study. The study population consisted of 43 head teachers, 516 teachers and 3042 orphaned learners in 43 mixed public primary schools.
