Community development aims to enable poor communities to be self reliant to fulfill the lives they desire: economically, socially , vocationally etc…poor villagers are furnished with grants to revolve in the form of small income generating projects , while local committees in every village assist the poor in the form of social assistance (cloths, home equipments, emergency health support etc...)
So far, several projects were implemented assisting thousands of families.

The curriculum includes a mixture of basic education, awareness seminars and practical life skills to equip the women to deal positively with all aspects of life and to be agents of change in their communities.
