Helping the Right Way
The whole Judeo-Christian tradition reminds us that people everywhere are made in the image of a creative God. This means that the poor are not just consumers but also creators. The tragic reality is that much of the West’s humanitarian aid actually does more harm than good because it overlooks this basic truth. PovertyCure’s international network of 100+ organizations hopes to shift the emphasis away from a dependency model and toward enterprise solutions to poverty. – Rev. Robert Sirico, Acton Institute
