Better Care Network: The Love You Give

  • Ty Stanton-Jones

A short documentary that lifts the lid on the orphanage ‘industry’ to expose how global efforts to move towards new models of care for children is being weakened by a constant supply of Western volunteers, who are unwittingly helping to fund a system that is harmful to children. ‘The Love You Give’ challenges the concept of ‘caring’ and urges young people not to volunteer in orphanages. It is supported by a coalition called ReThink Orphanages, which comprises organisations such as Save the Children, J.K Rowling’s charity Lumos and Hope and Homes for Children.
