The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Housing and Construction Mayor Limited, My-ACE China, has identified education and psychological development as the two most effective ways of the giving charity.
He made the observation at his honorary award and eventual induction into the Rotary Club family recently in Port Harcourt. 
China harped on the two strategies as the most impactful forms of donations.
He told newsmen that strategic donating is what will help people out of poverty, stressing that ineffective philanthropy will rather create highly dependent people who will always come back for help.
China stated that the preliminary philanthropy he was doing was not the effective type, saying; “Charity is an ineffective philanthropy because if you give a man fish, he will come back tomorrow for another fish and you can’t feed him all your life.
“So, charity of donation is actually charity of backing people (carrying people on your back). And the philosophy says you can’t back more than two people, but you can help a limitless number of people. So effective charity which I will start doing when I have more time will be real charity which is to make the person you are helping to be independent of your help subsequently.
“So, the two things I believe that will cause real charity are education and psychological development”, he stated, adding how it will make people develop grit – the emotional intelligence and psychological development.
He observed that following experts recent declaration that emotional intelligence is more important than intelligence quotient, it was important to teach people to have the intelligence quotient and the emotional quotient to build more during hard times.
On his induction as member of the Port Harcourt Rotary Club, he said he had been a Rotarian at heart with their mantra that says, ‘Service above Self’.
China donated N1 million to support the work of Rotary in Port Harcourt and promised to support another event where over 100 pregnant women will be assisted with delivery kits.
In her speech, Ibioku Whyte Enia-Harris, who was installed President, Rotary Club of Port Harcourt (2024-2025), said: “Our club had been built on a leadership foundation and I am fortunate to have a membership that is fully committed to the Rotary ideal of ‘Service Above Self’ and continues to go the extra mile in building the club and carrying out the many worthwhile projects that we undertake for the benefit of our community.”
