The charity that made-up stories of trafficked African children - BBC Africa
People around the world are being duped into donating money to fictional rescue centres for trafficked children in Africa. This is according to a BBC investigation into the charity, Project Rescue Children. Started by former UK police officer Adam Whittington, it’s raised thousands of pounds from sponsors globally. It claims its mission is to save children from trafficking and abuse however the BBC’s File on 4 has uncovered evidence of false and misleading social media posts and claims of rescue centre construction. Project Rescue Children rejects the BBC’s findings and says its work has benefitted hundreds of children worldwide.
