“One of the most
important capabilities of community self-help groups is that ordinary people
can develop such groups in their local communities when none exist, and
subsequently their group usually serves as an extraordinary resource to many
in that area for several years. I still find it amazing that to start a
group, a person doesn't need a grant, an agency, or even an office - just the
inspiration and a few other people who share their experience and hope. What
significantly helps in providing such inspiration is a person's knowledge of
an existing national organization or a model group, which can provide them
with basic information so they don't have to ‘re-invent the wheel.’” - E. Madara, "Mutual Aid Self-Help Group
Developments”
