“Does Giving to Charity Do More Harm Than Good?” | Allan Lee Brown | TEDxKanata

Are charity donors at the root of poverty? Please, stop giving to (bad) charities and learn how to truly support those in need.
In 2000, Allan Brown made a radical mid-life shift by selling his IT consulting firm in order to fully dedicate himself to international development work. Today, Allan is the International Director and Founder of Compasio Relief & Development, an organization that seeks to love, protect and empower those who are vulnerable.
From responding first-hand to the devastation of the 2004 Asian tsunami, to pioneering sustainable programs for victims of trafficking and abuse in high-risk refugee populations, Allan provides insights into the good, the bad and the ugly of development and charitable response.
Allan has recently returned to Canada after 15 years abroad overseeing work among displaced ethnic minority communities on the Thailand-Myanmar border.

I am fighting to launch C'8 - Coordinate, disaster aid coordination app that is purely altruistic, free, available to all and will be a tool of transparency and reporting abuses (which in the relative chaos of disaster relief aid is the rule, not the exception.) You can find info in my C'8 - Coordinate playlist if interested.

I never understand people who ignore suffering humans while they feed charities for cats
