Before such projects are carried out in a community, there has to be a serious feasibility study which then may be recommended through the agreement of their leaders depending on the community. Most of the projects are initiated by non-governmental organizations, charitable organizations and the government.
The community based projects have set up many goals which are to assist many from adult education to programs based after retirement communities. The project managers sets out objectives which are then passed on to the stake holders for them to attain, this is the first challenge experienced by the community.
Some of the major and diverse problems experienced are: Illiteracy and animosity amongst the members of the communities, minor conflicts and disagreements on things and issues appertaining their resources and influence from their cultures to name some.
The introduction of community based projects can be a blessing or a curse and especially where money is involved. This has attracted devious people out to exploit the needs of others at the expense of the greater good. Proposals therefore for such projects have been met with skepticism due to corruption. This in turn reduces the number of good projects that are undertaken because most of the time is wasted trying vet projects.
Where these community projects have been properly implemented, peoples’ lives and standards have been observed to dramatically change for the better and the general welfare improved. This has also made it possible for governments to cut public spending in these zones thus redirecting resources to other needier sectors.
People are offered free training and education in order to be employed and start small scale businesses which will help fight poverty among their community. The few communities chosen by the project to be assisted are highly provided for and given skills to improve them. The successful workers give back a hand to other communities by starting their own projects.
To the ones who are more experienced and retired, they have seen the benefit of investing in these kinds of real estates. These have made them form groups and are coming up with the same projects for people to invest in them. It is a good way to invest in the real estate business since it here to stay.
Proper structural development and implementation of these projects requires a well thought out plan and involvement of all stakeholders. This will create a secure perimeter system of vetting to eliminate hungry freelancing con men eager to fleece the people at the slightest opportunity.
Are you wondering of how you can give back to the community? And you do not have money? Well, you can do so by volunteering to help in carrying out the project developers programs.
