Nepal's orphanage scam: growing trend for 'voluntourism' linked to child exploitation (Video)

Pete Pattisson - The Guardian

This video describes the situation of orphanage “voluntourism” in Nepal and how it contributes to the exploitation of children and the growing orphan industry. “Nepalese parents are being tricked into sending their children to orphanages, lured by the promise of an education. Well-meaning foreign visitors often raise funds for the orphanages in the belief that they will be used to help the children, but instead the money goes to the owner of the home rather than its vulnerable young residents.”
