Charity donations to orphanages are causing children harm, says Felicity Hannah in this piece for the UK's Independent. The article explains the detrimental impacts that several different types of giving and donating can have on vulnerable communities, including a segment on donating to, or volunteeing in, orphanages. The article quotes Tourism Concern, a UK organisation that campaigns for ethical tourism: “the rise in the number of tourists volunteering in orphanages is actually fuelling the number of ‘orphans’, and causing unnecessary separation of children from their families."
