Well, no, because to the extent people vote with their wallet by donating to an organization which is massively inefficient in applying those funds to actually accomplishing the difference-making the donator hopes to achieve, it's a relatively negative effect. The donator would be better off donating to Muscular Dystrophy Canada or Doctors Without Borders or one of many competently and ethically run organizations. Given where the money goes when you're supporting these invisible children people it's not great at all.
