Every community that World Vision works with is aiming for self-sufficiency and a better future for their children. Community members and World Vision work together from the start of each project to not only build vital schools and health care centres, but also local skills and knowledge. This means one day they can lead their own development, without World Vision’s help. For some communities, that day has come – we’ve reached that goal!
During the final years of a community development programme, World Vision works to build the capacity of Community Based Organisations who take leadership of each project. If you ask community members who is in charge, they always say themselves!
By leaving these communities, we’re confident children have what they need to grow up healthy, strong and educated, without our help.
