Even though we shouldn't paint all the NGO's with the same brush, the unfortunate reality is that the credibility of these organisations and the harm they cause through incidents like these, make it almost impossible to have trust in them any longer. There is a long and documented history of fraud and exploitation.

I can't argue with you here. There are a significant number of NGOs that exist to pay their executives and staff and marketing and promotion. It's often the case that they allocate very little of their funds to projects on the ground and to the communities and causes they champion.
I know this is a late reply, but just wanted to add one more thing to this discussion. I think it's extremely disappointing (it really annoys me personally) that these NGO's and charities, have taken on the idea of using pushy call centres and street collectors in an aggressive manner. Although I understand that some of them struggle for funds and staff, I hope they soon realise that these tactics are damaging their reputations.
