About Us
Do What Is Good (DWIG) is a faith-based initiative harnessing the skills and abilities of people of good intent in rural communities to build through serving.
1
The challenges a community faces can be addressed most effectively by using the capacities that already exist there, rather than looking somewhere else for answers.
2
The less a community knows about itself and its citizens' capacities, the easier it is to fall into a pattern of seeing the community and its people only through a "needs" perspective.
3
Building a healthy community involves finding out what individual capacities each resident possesses. They comprise a powerful "tool" that can be used to address problems, promote growth, and enhance the quality of local life.
4
DWIG collects the talents, or gifts, of individuals then matches those with intended initiatives in a community. Its primary intent is to build capacity and access resources through community gaps and enhance existing community assets.
