Like many NGOs/NPOs they suffer from perverse incentives: reduce or solve the problem and their reason to be disappears and the directors and higher staff no longer have well paying cushy jobs. You see this in NGOs "helping" addicts, homeless, etc. On paper they have a well meaning goal, in practice the goal is mostly for show and most of the money goes to paying salaries.
