CLAIM Posted by will • May 3, 2026
While enhancing security sounds beneficial, investing heavily in physical protection for orphanages may divert resources away from addressing the root causes of kidnapping, such as poverty and lack of education. We should prioritize long-term solutions over short-term fixes.
