Society Effort in Social Responsibility
Most countries and especially in the developing economies have adult based projects that are primarily focused on empowering disadvantaged persons or enhancing the standards of a particular community. The term disadvantaged here is loosely used to mean people with an identifiable need that can be developed and used to add value to a given community.
Retirement communities in many countries across the globe are projects that are unique. Most of them are owned by governments or by other private institutions. Why? This is because the whole process of building the communities and materials used are very expensive.
The basic goal is to make the society have a common plan that can be worked on .The task is to bring different people who have the same ideas and options to make it work. The projects have different goals and objectives such as education and retirement benefits.
Some of the drawbacks that face such programs are difference in opinion, lack of togetherness and unity. There is also the issue of conflict due to finances allocation that hinders the progress of such developments. These are by far the enemy of community development.
The advent of community programs was noble and still is but unfortunately every good gesture is accompanied by a shadow of negative implications. Funding is a key component of any community project and these attracts unscrupulous characters and false interests. Corruption has plagued this decent area of public service and created negative perceptions concerning the same.
In areas where vices have been overcome these programs have greatly improved the living standards of the people and the community at large. Specific projects by the government that were never realized have also been completed without relying heavily on government input. This has saved numerous governments some considerable chunk of money to be utilized in other high priority sectors.
The other major advantage of the said projects is the fact that they create jobs and even training for those recruited to help in the running of the projects. The communities affected are therefore equipped with local skilled manpower and this too has a multiplier effect. These skilled workers go ahead and sometime start 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.
This kind of project can be the communities’ center of pride. This is because they enhance the social responsibility in a great way. Without the corrupt middlemen who want to pocket a few cents, then the scheme would be a life changing project for the society and individuals.
Project developers are often looking for volunteers to help carry their programs. So be a part of a community based project and make a difference.
