It's a great book to help think through the issues around enabling girls vs. helping them. Some of the ideas include:
1. Never do for the poor what they can do for themselves
2. Limit one-way giving to emergencies
3. Empower the poor through employment, lending, and investing, using grants sparingly to reinforce achievements
4. Subordinate self-interest to the needs of those being served
5. Listen closely to those you seek to help
6. Above all, do no harm
