Community Involvement Strengthens Local Partnerships

Community involvement has been the cornerstone of our success in Tigray. Through active participation and partnership, local communities have taken ownership of programs, ensuring their long-term sustainability.

Community engagement includes:

• Community committees for program oversight
• Volunteer networks supporting program implementation
• Local leaders serving as program ambassadors
• Regular community meetings and feedback sessions
• Skills training for community members
• Resource mobilization at the local level

"When communities are involved from the beginning, programs become theirs," explained Sister Maria, our community engagement coordinator. "This creates lasting change that continues long after we're gone."

This participatory approach has led to higher program success rates and stronger community bonds.
