People in developing countries often experience a poor quality of life because of a lack of basic education and skills. Such countries face serious health challenges from water-bourne diseases such as cholera, HIV-AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria. However, without understanding about these diseases they can’t protect themselves. If they know, they can.
If disadvantaged people have no practical skills they can’t earn a living or provide for their families. If, for example, they were taught how to sew or bake bread in a drum oven they could clothe and feed their families and perhaps start a small business to earn a living. God weeps because people without basic education and skills weep. The “If I know, I can” principle is behind Mustard Seed Global’s life skills books.
