Isn't it time we redefine success in charities?
Never in the history of humankind have we had more potential to act. There are more charities than ever, more people volunteering overseas, more crowdfunding campaigns to support at a click of a button.And yet, amongst all of this good work, there is the underlying paradox of the entire charity sector. It is a commonly held belief that for a charity to exist, someone must remain suffering.
When helping others, your original intentions matter
Never, in the history of humankind, has there been such potential for unintended consequences of good intentions.Aid work, once the domain of a select few, has beendemocratised. It’s now the domain of many.
