This is known as “like/share farming” (1). This persons tag says “SHARE IF YOU CARE, please like my page”, that’s the wrong reason to post a photo of kids who are starving.

Facebook allows you to register as an organ donor and donate to a registered charity, but they don’t donate when you like or share (2).
