From Proverb to Process
On Building Self-Sustainability
where it matters the MOST
if you give a woman a fish, she will feed her family first and might possibly go hungry.
if you teach a woman to fish, she will feed her family, open a fish market, and build her community's economy until outside forces take away her fishing rights or pollute the lake.
if you help a woman buy the lake, she will feed her family, enlarge her fish market business, build her community's economy, and keep the lake environmentally clean and have something to pass on to future generations.
