The word “orphan” probably doesn’t mean what you think it does. Social Impact Consultant Lindsay Hadley addresses how this misconception has turned well-intentioned charity into part of the problem. Everyone has an instinctual need for belonging. Perhaps that’s why “the orphan crisis” so easily tugs heartstrings and draws in billions of dollars of aid each year. But as the crisis continues — and even worsens in some countries — it’s time to ask if we really understand the problem we are trying to fix. Could we do better? And what might we learn about ourselves along the way?
