Community Economic Development

1. Work is community based.
2. The primary focus is on assets, both in people and in communities, not on needs or limitations.
3. Lead with economic development.
4. Lending to the poor is better than charity, and investing with the poor is better than lending.
5. Develop the leadership capacity of the community.
6. Never do for the poor what they can do for themselves.
7. Don't get ahead of the people.
