  • 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 good better? And what might we learn about ourselves along the way?hadleyimpact.com “Lindsay Hadley (Hadley Impact Consulting) has become one of the most sought-after consultants & producers in the nonprofit sector, raising $50M+ for her clients and leveraging billions for charity through campaigns & events. A founding member of Global Citizen, Lindsay has executively produced Global Citizen Festivals in both Australia and the USA. Lindsay is also known as: a founding member of Orphan Myth, the founder of FilmRaise, the E.P. of the upcoming documentary Uncharitable, and a founding partner and Executive Producer of the first-ever social impact fund partnered with the Vatican. Hadley served as the founding development consultant for United for Global Mental Health. Lindsay was highlighted in Utah Business Magazine’s 2015 FORTY UNDER 40 Awards. She was a professor of social entrepreneurship at BYU Hawaii and on the Foundation Board for Utah Valley University. Lindsay lives on the North Shore of Oahu with her 3 sons and loving & supportive husband,Geoff. @lindsayshadley.” This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.

    I’m an orphan and this hits home!
    Both of my parents passed but I’m fighting to build a life of my own now. Sometimes that’s all you can do.❤

      You are strong, I'm envious of you because I have parents both are well educated, mom is teacher, dad is a teacher too but I still can't have confidence and peace. But you, .... I'm really proud of you my friend.
      I think it's better for you to find a valuable relationship because loneliness is so depressing. You will become better and better, God bless❤

      What is NGO?
      What is Consultant for Non profit?
      Could you please adress about orphanage in global scale (especially India)?
      Could you give some insights about Crowd funding organization and any possibility for money laundering by them (charity based crowd funding organization)?
      I think the people are becoming hesitant to be generous in donating to the needy is because there are fraudsters and scammers are on the predominance right now
      Btw Lindsay, ❤ your dedication and love, you will become wonderful, your family as well ❤
      Here what I've understood from your speech :
      1. Orphans are real and always existing in all region and periods of time
      2. Reason for orphanage is not only merely because of parents absence but also due to the poverty
      3. Humans are jn nature for seeking a belonging (Loneliness is not good)
      Lindsay, I couldn't understand your rest of your understanding because of lack of knowledge and language barrier (I'm Tamil speaking person).
      I would like to get your reply.... Let's see if your reply comes here...
      Thanks Lindsay❤

    I testify that what Lindsay said in particular about the second myth is true. We are from Indonesia, as told by Better Care Network, there are more than 8000 orphanages with around 500,000 children living in them, and 90% of them are not orphans.
    We ask that you support and pray that we are always blessed with an unflagging spirit and a never-tiring physique as well as a relentless struggle to prevent the separation of children from their families, especially in vulnerable communities, running foster care - Indonesia previously had no foster care in the child protection system - so that it can be an option and a solution for children to be cared for by the family.
    Thank you Lindsay, you assure us that we are not alone

    Some orphans didn't get the luxury of being in an orphanage. Some just grow up on streets. Some orphans worked harder than other orphans and didn't gave up to drugs just to have a life and to pursue their dreams. Some orphans became professionals and promised to help young orphans too and will adopt and make that at least 1 young orphan to have a better life because he never gave up existing.
