Toxic Charity #2.6: Problems that can result from helping others:

Not allowing people who could do things themselves, to do so. Work together so that everyone learns how to do each skill. This actually cuts both ways, by working together my youth went home with new, enabling skills they learned from the local people and vice versa. But also, do not leave a concrete mixer without teaching the local people how to use it, care for it and repair it. You will also need to provide the financial means for maintaining such items after you have left otherwise there is no reason to bring it and use it.
