Understanding the community before we help is super important for making a real difference. We need to know about their history, culture, and problems they face. This helps us to plan our help in a way that really works for them. We should look for what's already good in the community, like their strengths, weakness, threats, available resources and talents. By using these, we can make things even better. It's also important to be respectful of their traditions and customs. This builds trust and makes our help more effective. Once we understand their challenges, we can come up with ways to help that really fit their needs. Whether it's helping with community engagement/development, building climate resilience, empowerment or making sure kids and girls get a good education, knowing what they need helps us to make a real difference that lasts. #communitydevelopment #youthdevelopment #communityengagement #socailimpact #SDGs #empowerment #UNDP #Unicef #BritishCouncil #socialaction
