I’m actually surprised you guys want to kill the “teach a man to fish” proverb.
The key message of the proverb seems to be that we should be increasing the capabilities of those in hardship so they can lift themselves out of hardship and be self-sufficient. I never read it asadvocating for teaching skills specifically.
Furthermore my understanding is that increasing the capabilities of those in hardship so they can lift themselves out of hardship and be self-sufficient is GiveDirectly’s goal. You guys don’t want to give money to the same people for the rest of time do you?
