If You Really Want to Help

If you Really Want to Help provides a freshly innovative approach to eradicating poverty and global missions.

Everyone wants to see extreme poverty alleviated, but too often well-meaning Westerners believe that good intentions and their carefully crafted solutions are sufficient. But poverty is more than just a material issue, and the poor are more than a set of problems to be solved.

Any effort from outsiders will ultimately fail without a comprehensive shift in how people think and an understanding that we must do with, not for, the poor. If You Really Want to Help lays out a fresh blueprint and proves that people really can lift themselves out of poverty if they are allowed to take the lead.
