It's a derivation of the Chinese proverb about fish, but was used by a charity and ended something like "Give a man a spade and he'll eat for life".

Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day, teach a man to fish and he will eat for a life time.

Well, I have heard "give a man a fish, and he'll eat for a day. Teach him to fish and he will eat for a lifetime."
That's the only version I have heard.
