I am so excited that you are excited. Welcome to Carnegie Hall and... Thank you! Welcome to a very what I hope is a very special evening. More than 25 years ago, an author put pen to paper and created one of the most extraordinary stories that the world has ever seen. Her astounding imagination continues to thrill us, it captivates us, it enthrals us, it moves us, and it leaves us wanting more. And tonight ladies and gentlemen, there will be more! But ten years ago, an unimaginable image and an unthinkable story propelled her down a very different path, where the lives of millions of voices children would need saving. The author is J.K. Rowling, and the path is Lumos. Tonight, we will cast a light on eight million hidden children around the world who desperately need our help. [Narrated] A child's life is so much more than the sum of its parts, and the love a family brings hold everything together. From the very beginning, a child thrives on individual care and attention. The baby quickly forges a bond with loving parents, and because of this bond the brain develops with remarkable speed and complexity. Within a safe, secure and stimulating environment, a child gets the most out of life. In play, education and friendship, their personalities develop freely within safe bounds. But this picture of childhood can be a fragile one. Conflict and disaster can destroy the foundations of family life. When countries suffer the effects of extreme poverty, the bonds which holds families together can easily be broken apart. In these circumstances, families can feel they have no choice but to place their child into a so-called orphanage - especially if the child is disabled, and needs care the family cannot afford. Community support alternatives may not exist. That orphanages do exist locally may convince desperate parents that there is no alternative. But once the child enters an orphanage, a very different picture of childhood can emerge. The child must now compete for the unique attention they crave. A lack of individual care harms babies, and affects their infant brains at a critical stage. Any schooling they receive is no compensation for the parental love they are denied, and children can become cut off from the world. Ill-prepared for life outside, they have very poor life chances. And they are much more likely to fall victim to abuse and crime once they leave an orphanage. And we know there are at least eight million of these children worldwide.But there is hope, and it lies a very hard problem. Eighty percent of children in orphanages are NOT in fact orphans, but have parents or extended families who could care for them, given some support. And by better channeling existing donations, we can support these vulnerable children at home. By directing funds away from so-called orphanages, we can transform systems of care. We can establish community based services, and prevent these places from ever taking root. Community-based services are a better investment for donors, they are more cost-efficient than residential care and they reward children and communities in the long-run. Placing children into orphanages is a choice and not a necessity. It is preventable and reversible. And by giving communities options in how they support families, we can change the lives of millions of children and give them strong beginnings and the futures they deserve. so now to hear more about Lumos and it's life-changing work please welcome to the stage its founder ladies and gentlemen the extraordinary J.K. Rowling thank you thank you very much so here we are here we are this is a big deal this is we're playing Carnegie Hall, we are, yes it's actually my second time it was it really alright, so in a short while we get to show these people our little movie yeah which is exciting and a little bit terrifying um and we will get onto talking about that in a little bit but first the reason we're all here so we've just seen this film this is clearly a massive humanitarian issue and a gigantic undertaking I wondered why why this issue why is it so close to your heart well I think Eddie said it really well in his introduction it is the truth is that i saw it and use a newspaper story about a very small boy he was seven years old and he was effectively being kept in a cage and I was pregnant at the time and I saw this image in the newspaper and it was such a shocking image of this child holding onto wire and screaming that I went to turn the page i went to turn the page because it was painful to look at and I felt very ashamed as i went to the page I thought no no you have to read the story and if it's as bad as it looks you gotta do something about it so I read the story and it was even worse than it looked so to cut a very long story short the next I I pulled out the young new story which was all about an institution in the Czech Republic were very young children were being kept in appalling conditions i went home the next day, monday I started to write letters to anyone I could think of MPs and MEPs and the I wrote to the president of the Czech Republic I wrote to everyone I could think of and that led me to connecting with experts in this field and the creation of Lumos and so there are 8 million children living in orphanages worldwide that we know that we know of see I think what's staggering with what was amazing to meet my first began finding out about this if these issues you think how could eight million children be going through this and we don't know but at a very small amount of thought shows you they are as as you just said so voiceless they are literally hidden from sight so in fact eight million maybe a conservative estimate there may be more children who have been taken from families that we don't know about because record-keeping tends to be poor which is one of the problems and they are institutions and the we're saying are harmful to children I suppose I imagine not everyone agrees absolutely so it is completely understandable that we and by we I mean wealthy Westerners we may have an idea that institutions are kind kind in that otherwise perhaps the child will be on the street or the child is alone that's completely understand what we tend to have that image in our minds from movies like Annie the orphanages can be kind of fun! actually that's not true even the well-run ones are proven as we saw in that short film to do often irreparable harm you will know because he has it you have a baby now who is five months five months old yup and you will know as I know as all of us who have anything to do with small children know that they are hard-wired to demand love they just come out looking for it because that's what they need for brain development and as was shown in this movie we know that children who are raised in institutions suffer developmental delays they tend to be physically stunted they normally have psychological trauma it is just not what nature intended for children to be herded together and not given individual individual loving care and this sort of studies and statistics absolutely so I'm not just saying this plucking this out of the air to tell you we have 80 years of research now that shows very very clearly all the research agrees that this is very harmful and in fact Lumos works with scientists in the field who will who can show you brain scans showing the difference between a child that's come from an institution and a child has been raising a family as the movie shown with one large recent study shows that children who come out of institutions were six times more likely to have been abused 10 times more likely to enter prostitution 40 times more likely to have a criminal record and they were 500 times more likely to kill themselves so you see we do have this enormous bank of research telling us that we are allowing or even inadvertently causing children to be harmed for me one of the complicated things get my head round and I suppose for people in developed countries like the US or the UK in which institutionalization is a thing of the past one of the things we struggle with I suppose there's this sort of disconnect in terms of how we view orphanages I can completely agree i think a small amount of thought shows us if you imagine what would happen god forbid were a terrible natural disaster to hit New York tonight your everyone i think would immediatley think what the important thing is i keep my loved ones close to we stay together and we get the support we need to rebuild our business find ourselves at home when we put ourselves and our families in that in that mentally in that position we understand however what's happening across the developed world is disaster hits and families are immediately pulled apart we'll take those children from you now imagine that in the wake of the disaster that people come to you and say what if you get that child will get fed only if you give me that child and that's what we keep propping up the system and it's causing a huge amount of damage and so so is that why families are being torn apart is there they're sort of why do parents give them all right exactly this is that I mean for many people that's the key questions so when I tell people eighty percent of these these children have parents then a an understandable reaction is what loving parent could give up their child to one of these places but we know that there are three main drivers into institutions the biggest one the overwhelming one is poverty so parents who make themselves literally be starving are told if you want to feed that child we will take it to the institution the child will get food in the institution so they literally are believe that's how my child will be fed and survive i'll have to give the child the other one is disability we find in the developed world and certainly this was the case in Eastern Europe where we're doing a lot of work children with disabilities were not integrated and so parents again were told if you want medical assistance for disabled child or if you want that child educated they have to go into the institution and then the third driver is natural disaster where that and this is where a very nasty aspect of institutionalization comes in it is often the case in the developed world the orphanages so-called orphanages are run as businesses and that effectively children are trafficked for profit because we Westerners are generous and we can we give a lot of money to these orphanages and unfortunately there are very unscrupulous people who in the wake of disasters use it as an opportunity to get children and corral children as a magnet for foreign money, rather than putting the money into systems of care that would keep families together so since 2010 there has been a seven hundred percent increase in children and institutions in haiti so for me what is the solution account is there what where does one go about it obviously this is this is a massive issue massive issue and as you would imagine the solution is complex but I bring hope this is an entirely solvable issue this is entirely solvable and we know how to do it doesn't mean it's easy but we know how to do it so it's a two-part problem first of all we have these children some of them living in truly appalling conditions whom we need to rescue the other part of the issue is we need to stop children going into those institutions in the first place ever again Lumos' ambition and we believe it's achievable is that by 2050 we will ended institutionalization globally now that's going to be a huge amount of work clearly but a lot of us are really up for that so first thing is we need to put into into place different systems of care and some very good news is institutions are very very expensive to run and if we just redirected the funds that are being pumped into institutions we could that alone would enable better systems of care to be set up but you also need a lot of expertise and what we do with Lumos is, we work with people in country who are already trying to change these systems so that's the point I always really like to get across, we are not moving into countries and saying let us show you how it's done we are walking into countries because in all of these countries there are experts who know the system's wrong but they don't have the money and they don't have the clout and maybe they are connected with the kind of people who can help them change systems we can go in and help will do that so that's what we do we go in and we we try and affect the change we also do things like provide I mean we've provided urgent medical assistance often two children we found in very very bad situations and so on so it's it's multi-layered and then the other thing we do is advocacy so we work with place like the UN and the EU to change policy to stop this being the default position when disasters happen but i think i read that every year particularly in this country millions of dollars are being given to orphanages that's right well Ihave these notes because i want to get the figures right and because normally I just make out of my head like people say how many house elves are in the Hogwarts kitchen and I just but this is really important I'm not saying house elves aren't important they clearly have been massive in my life they mean a lot to a lot of people but I want to get this right because this is this is important so is this is an incredible figure this is how much Americans give to charity annually how awesome are Americans it the answer is 375 billion dollars so I mean that is phenomenal that's phenomenal and just warms ones heart to think about generosity, now that money was given with the absolute best possible intentions there's not one person here tonight i know of any age that does not want to help a child in trouble it's a human it's a human instinct that we all have, we know that that money drove a lot of children into orphanages who probably didn't need to be well you you know what no child needs to be in an orphanage but we know that it created a drive-in and so what I would like even if you never give us another penny I'm so grateful for what you have given us tonight we will always be able to use money very effectively because they say these children have very complex needs but even if you never give us another penny if you just walk out of here tonight and explain to people that donating to orphanages or volunteering and orphanages is sometimes propping up some very corrupt people making a lot of money and if you give your money to community-based services you can actually help ten times as many children just checking my notes ten times as many children you mentioned haiti that somewhere that is obviously in our minds of the moment I wondered what it is hugely in our minds in my mind a lot at the moment because we know and I have more figures here these are new figures to me because obviously there's recently been an absolute catastrophe there, so we now know that there are 30,000 children institutionalized, and the same statistic I keep quoting still applies the overwhelming majority of those children have at least one parent and these are families whose livelihoods have been swept away these are families who were so desperate that they thought that was the only way they were going to keep that child alive which which is an absolutely heartbreaking thing to me and I i know it will be to you also, there is a lot of corruption in Haiti and we know that there are people who are called child finders not childminders these child finders are out there persuading parents to give up their children to orphanages and making lots of promises to them about what they can do that child in terms of protection and care and those children are not receiving protection and care rather the reverse we know that a lot of child trafficking is going on and we also know that for each child in an orphanage in Haiti currently each child is attracting six thousand dollars worth of foreign aid and that's why it is becoming a business so people with the best possible intentions are giving money and I think might be horrified to see what's going on so what I'm saying to you is God's sake don't stop giving money but give it give it right give it to NGOs that are working to replate you know to give people back lively hoods and to support communities not to institutions and Hurricane matthew has exacerbated that Hurricane Matthew was as we all know an absolute nightmare half a million people lost their livelihoods we have 900 dead and it will allow unless we intervene in the correct way continue to prop up this very damaging system and I I i do i will say I will say this because i would like you all to know that I would I put my money where my mouth is I gave a million pounds last week to Haiti to support community-based services and i'm not saying it for that reason i kind of cringe slightly as I even say that okay because I'm i'm not saying it for that reason I'm saying that I, I'm not asking anyone to give where I'm not already giving but Haiti is a particular catastrophe and I wanted to give extra funds to haiti right now through Lumos because Lumos is on the ground right now affecting this kind of change and really looking at those children and those institutions and recently Bonnie Wright and Evanna Lynch so Ginny Weasley and Luna Lovegood from the potter films who we love and I think Bonnie and I think Bonnie is here this evening but they are two incredibly dedicated Lumos ambassadors who visited Haiti and they not only saw the horrific conditions but also they saw the solution that you've been talking about Jo and we actually have some footage from the trip here Hi my name is Bonnie Wright and I'm an actress and director he may know me as Ginny Weasley from the Harry Potter films today I'm in Haiti with the Evanna Lynch, who you may know as Luna Lovegood we decided to come to Haiti because we're concerned about the 30,000 children living here in orphanages instead of at home with their families eighty percent of these children have parents who want to care for them, but cannot i was incredibly shocked and upset to find the conditions of the first orphanage we visited, I heard so much about the work that Lumos were doing and from some of the workers here at Lumos and what exactly these institutions were like, but I think coming out of this first experience just highlighted how incredibly important Lumos' work here is in Haiti the most important thing that I took away from today is understanding that children really need to grow up in families, witout a family and without love children can't be children the most important thing as a child is to be with your family and you have to do everything you can to keep that family unit in place They are, they are but you know, we think that obviously be doing a lot of work in Latin America now it's an area that does have a problem with institutionalization but we are very hopeful at Lumos that we could reach a tipping point in five years or so, where we can we can change policy we think that by we are very hopeful that by 2035 if we can get the funds we will be able to stop institutionalization in Latin America we believe that yeah so it's solvable? It is solvable it sounds overwhelming when you think of that number of children and the complexity i'm not denying the solutions are complex but Lumos is working with absolute experts in this field they know what they're doing they know how to make it work and what they need the funds and the support and the last thing I would say particularly to young people in the audience today I would reiterate we need to change minds we need to change minds because while people are putting money into these orphanages and what people are volunteering in orphanages a lot of corruption flourishes around those institutions, there is a sense that we are as ever with the best intentions propping up something that's very damaging those children should be with their families and if they can't be with families foster care or adoption or supported living in small family style units are all proven to be the best possible alternatives what can we do? Tell us what we can do! I think it's two part as I say so number one I am going to firstly say I could not be more grateful all of you being here tonight we've already done the most enormous amount for us to raise money for us and thank you thank you so fifty percent of what you can do if you want to fundraise for us, I will be forever in your debt the other half though as I say is the other thing you can do is if everyone who is here tonight walked out of here and said I get the issue i know the institutionalization is wrong and in future when i donate when I hear a friend donating and saying they want to give some money where Christmas i will say not the orphanages so but look if you want you want to give it to a child in the developing world look at community-based services we're not the only NGO working in the field we are one of several so do a little bit of research and make sure that you are supporting families to stay together we will spread the word, we will spread the word that is our job spread the word and I've got to say having known so little about it before it's it's an extraordinary thing and it's a complicated thing but as you say solvable and um you must be incredibly proud of the work that Lumos are doing I am, it's the thing it's probably the thing of which i'm most proud
