Bashar Humeid suggests the following:

1. Avoid:

Approaching with a “helper syndrome” (thinking you’re there to “save” people).

Imposing foreign agendas that don’t align with local needs.

Relying on international aid and development agencies.

Collaborating with governments focused on political control rather than community needs.

2. Do:

Partner with local farmers and businesses, addressing their real problems.

Challenge traditional education and norms to understand local realities.

Explore alternative local currencies and digital economies to break free from the unsustainable global riba fiat financial system.

The focus is on humility, local collaboration, and addressing the root causes of social and environmental issues, while moving away from aid dependency and political manipulation.
