I'm so glad Palki discussed this, as it's something I've considered when trying to decide whether to donate money from my very limited finances. I turned skeptical after reading a story about the WWF, created by Prince Phillip to help animals in the wild. The exorbitant costs involved in WWF's administration far outweighed the money going to actually help animals. Let's be honest...if there's a way to rob a cause or illegally use a technology, the rich and others will utilize it. It's truly a tragic loss at a time when so many in so many places are suffering, and the very people that gain the most from that suffering find a myriad of ways to continue doing so.

Thankfully, I had the courage to say this to the intern very kindly: We as taxpayers already contribute about 30% of our income directly, and a huge part of our income indirectly. We are already doing service to the society. Why is UNICEF not going to corporates for CSR funding? Why are we as taxpayers made to feel guilty about not paying more? Thanks to this video, I will add this point the next time I get such a call. When the aid does not reach the intended beneficiaries, why are we paying it?

What a brilliant speaker she is ! I never ever donate to NGOs and rather help people around me who are in need with money or objects. only to genuine ones ...

[@terinunes604]

This is so shocking I wish everyone can see this

[@adrianamuneton902]

All well word it. You rock as usual. Your report is 100% accurate. Thanks Ms. Palki.

[@rajkiran002]

Rajiv Gandhi when new to politics mentioned that only 15% reaches the needed people. I will share my experience. Every month I used to donate to CRY but this long back 80s or 90s period. Somewhere I read the person heading the project was drawing 20L salary. The person is having a good social background and not at all short of money. My view was that it should be voluntary helping children. Hence I stopped donating. Now whatever help I do is in my area. This gives me satisfaction that full help is received by the needed person.

Aid business is a BIG business. The money you donate just ends up in the pockets of the NGO's.

[@phillippurifoy7427]

My first time on this channel, and Ms. Sharma demonstrated the importance of juxtaposing our American news, with different reputable global media outlets presenting the same stories, in order to determine whatever really happened, from various different perspectives. Nothing but insightful and objective journalism on this channel. Thank you Ms. Sharma for initiating conversation on such secretive exploitation.

[@bahib6280]

Give Palki Sharma an award. She's the best Tv anchor I have known. And I know many.

[@mairo5181]

So apt! You've summed it all, "It's not a noble deed to help those in need, it's a business model where any benefit to the poor are incidental." Keep up the excellent work, Palki.❤👍🙏

10 cents on the dollar goes to the intended recipients. This happens so often in the charitable assistance racket.

No not 10 cents on the dollar, 1 cent on the dollar gets to the intended recipient. 99% scammed.

I have often wondered about this myself. I know sometimes the contributions are stalwarted by the enemy. We need to be sure that the aid gets to the people who need it.

If you want to help ,do it directly in your presence

Take a walk near to the area where you stay and if you notice needy people, just ask them how can you help them.

Donate the amount to only Government's disaster relief fund..in India we have Prime Minister or Chief Minister Relief Fund..pay online..

[@DGLeo482]

@@asingh8759 please, PM Cares fund was another big scam. Smart people I know (including my family) helped migrant workers in our locality DIRECTLY. No point in giving money to this bullshit. The govt already failed in appropriating our tax money into building a good healthcare and they come begging for it again due to their OWN inefficiency. You have no idea how filthy rich Indian govt actually is. Asking charity money from citizens is the biggest scam.

[@asingh8759]

@@DGLeo482 happy to see that u have distracted from your baseless unproved hypothesis...No amount of rhetoric can change anyone's sense of charity, compassion and responsibility towards our society..so definitely every one should extend charity as per their capacity but into safe and secure fund..

As if know the other anchors, most of the Indian English news channels don't air internationally, they are local. Wion is the first international Indian based channel, but yeah even I like Palki.
