All week, The World has brought you an investigative series about orphanages, also known as children’s homes, in Uganda.
These homes have proliferated in the country, despite the fact that, even in the best of circumstances, they are not considered healthy for children.
The World’s Africa correspondent Halima Gikandi uncovered allegations of abuse and neglect at three children’s homes, which are all founded and funded by people from the United States or Europe.
The World’s host Carolyn Beeler talks to Gikandi about how she undertook this reporting, and how donors can better vet the international children’s organizations they financially support.
Listen to the full conversation by clicking the audio player above.
