14. FINAL MESSAGES
Betterment gives a man a fish. Development teaches him to fish.
1. I will never do for others what
they have (or could have) the
capacity to do for themselves.
2. I will limit my one-way giving to
emergency situations and seek
always to find ways and means
for legitimate exchange.
3. I will seek ways to empower the
poor through hiring, lending, and
investing and use grants sparingly
as incentives that reinforce
achievements.
4. I will put the interests of the
poor above my own (or
organizational) self-interest even
when it may be costly.
5. I will take time to listen and
carefully assess both expressed
and unspoken needs so that my
actions will ultimately strengthen
rather than weaken the hand of
those I would serve.
6. Above all, to the best of my
ability, I will do no harm..
