Government is the only entity that works for the disadvantaged.

The Red Cross, the Salvation Army, the Catholic school and hospital network (CRS), Doctors without Borders, Lutheran World Federation, the ACLU, etc etc etc.

You have confused the customer with the product.
That statement rings false.

The product of doctor's without borders is better health for the disadvantaged. The product of the red cross disaster relief is comfort and care in times of distress. The EAPN main goal is to elevate the disadvantaged above their current situation and prevent the cycle of poverty.

This doesn't conform with standard HN understandings of what it means to be a customer and what it means to be a product.
