We Don't Do Charity

We Don't Do Charity is a feature documentary that challenges traditional charity models and highlights a radically different approach to Humanitarian Aid & Global Development that prioritises social entrepreneurship, community empowerment, and local leadership.

Across the Global South social entrepreneurs, civil society organisations and grass roots NGOs are rejecting the ‘white saviourism’ of rich countries in favour of sustainable development programmes designed by them, for their own communities.

This film studies several examples of locally-controlled organisations in India, Ghana, Uganda, and Kenya. We then ask the question from leading professionals and thought leaders in International Development: Is the current system still relevant? If not, what should we change?
