The Poor Are Not a Project

Too much charity can actually keep people poor. That may sound brutal, but in many cases it is true. In Kenya, Myanmar, Cambodia, the real answer to poverty is not outsiders doing more for communities, but local people being empowered to do more within their own communities. At Bad Boy Turned Good, we believe lasting change happens when dignity is restored, ownership is handed back, and the people once seen as receivers become the very ones leading transformation.
