We want to speak directly to celebrities, influencers, philanthropists, brands and members of the public who give generously when they see these images. Your compassion is not the problem. The problem is what your donations are funding and what they are normalizing. At the very moment when the Government of Uganda, the African Union, the United Nations and global experts agree that institutional care should be reduced and replaced with family- and community-based care, money and visibility are still flowing into models that keep children in institutions and turn their hardship into content.
