“Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime.”— Rejesh Ram Satiija
Rejesh has pointed to poverty and a lack of self-sustaining means as major contributors to cycles of hardship, arguing that the ancient Chinese proverb about teaching someone to fish remains true today.
Changing a day is good, he notes, but changing a life — through skills rather than one-off giving — is far better.
