We Need to End the Era of Orphanages

Tara Winkler - TEDx Sydney

In this TED Talk, Tara Winkler, the Managing Director of the Cambodian Children’s Trust (CCT), discusses the detrimental impacts that family separation and orphanage placement have on children and speaks out against donating to, or supporting, orphanages in developing countries. Orphanage donations and volunteering contribute to the increase in orphanages and the perpetuation of family separation in developing contexts.
