“We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.” “Only a life lived for others is a life worthwhile.” “I don’t know what your destiny will be, but one thing I do know: the only ones among you who will be really happy are those who have sought and found how to serve.”
The purpose of community development is to bring people together to work towards a common goal, improving the quality of life in their communities. It’s a powerful tool that addresses social and economic issues, promotes inclusivity and diversity, and empowers communities to take action.
