This article from CNN exposes the exploitation that many children experience in Haitian orphanages. The author cites a recent report from Lumos which indicates that the operators of many of these institutions use children for forced labor and to solicit donations, money that the children hardly ever see. The article describes the ways in which "child finders" venture into poor communities in Haiti to convince, or coerce, families into relinquishing their children to orphanages where they promise to provide healthcare, food, and education.
According to the article, Lumos has been working with the government of Haiti to close five orphanages, though none of the owners have been arrested. Lumos aims to work with the Haitian government to develop a stronger foster care system and to "change people's minds about orphanages."
