Stop CHARITY......Start "HUMANITY" (Provide Opportunity, Not Charity)

Dear Readers,

What would we normally do when we come across some needy person?

Perhaps we all would try to help the needy person as per his needs and our ability and donate her/him Foods/Clothes/Money etc

But after this, we all must have thought that If only we had some better option to serve this needy human being.

Actually, 

People in need want ‘not charity, but a chance’. A chance to get Education; A chance to start Business Enterprise, A Chance to prove their worth as human being.

This chance is provided through Humanity i.e. Human’s Help to Human/Social Help/Social Investment.

Let’s come back to our earlier point of ‘Better Option’ to serve needy person.

Now, suppose instead of donating Rs. 500/- to that needy person, you join hands with other 9-10 persons, collect Rs. 5,000/-  by taking refundable loan of Rs. 500/- from each and handover the sum to the needy person who want to use this money for his micro business (viz Vegetable Vending, Kirana, Dairy farming etc) to increase her/his family’s monthly income by Rs. 2K-4K.

The human help/social investment in form of Loan of Rs. 5,000/- will be repaid by the needy person along with interest in next 50-60 weeks.

Thus, this option (humanity) is better over earlier option (charity) due to:

·        Charity is short-term, focused on temporary relief while Humanity is long-term, focused on root cause of problem

·        Charity is ‘Giving’, hurts self-esteem of the receiver while Humanity is ‘Doing’, provides Chance to the receiver to prove himself.

Now, after all these reading, what should we do? We should search for opportunity for doing humanity/making social investment. And what to say.... when we can to all this at comfort of our home, in hassle free manner, without much time consuming.

Here comes the Purpose of this Post:

PS: Here 'Stop Charity' doesn't mean that Charity should not be done, Charity has its own importance in providing immediate (even if temporary) relief to needy persons. We should however also focus on Providing Opportunity whether in form of Social Loans (t/h RangDe.org or Direct/Offline) or donations for starting micro-business/education or helping needy person to learn suitable skills for self-employment or job.

ENJOY NOW!
