🤔Imagine a stranger getting into your house and start giving orders, telling you how you are doing things wrong and wants you to change to the way they like it themselves...It sounds rude ~ You feel disrespected, right? ⚡This is exactly how it feels when organizations get into communities and without their consent and considerations, interrupt their way of life in the name of development projects and interventions. ⚡They want to disrupt the communities' ways of life without being considerate. Without knowing why the community is living the way it is. ⚡Assuming that whatever the communities have been doing is not right and that whatever the organization brings is the right thing. ⚡Organizations seeing themselves as the savior to these communities and forgetting that the communities existed for centuries without the organizations. ⚡Not to be misquoted, I do not disregard the contributions of these organizations in bettering our communities, but the right process must be followed. They must appreciate that nothing is for the communities without the communities. #CommunityLedDevelopment #CLD_HCD #LocalCommunities #SustainableDevelopment CorpsAfrica The Movement for Community-led Development Community development association ( EL-Mobadara ) GSFN CDS Organization Dr Renuka Thakore Representing Global Communities Michael Muiya R Elwin Yves Delphin Gasore Nelly Iminza Grace Mathinji Augustine Njuguna

Lip service is a pervasive problem in our communities. We are all too familiar with empty promises that are not backed up by action. It's high time we pledge to do more than just talk. As one community member said, "They come out here, tell big stories, tell us they will help, and we don't see them again." Let's make sure we are not those people. Let's be the ones who follow through with actions to support our communities. #CommunitySupport #ActionSpeaksLouderThanWords Lip service, or making empty promises without action, undermines community support by fostering distrust and disappointment. It's crucial to follow through with actions to genuinely support communities, rather than just offering words without substance. This approach strengthens community bonds and ensures meaningful support.
