Empowerment and accomplishment in the Busoga region are the heart and soul of this service.
In a nutshell, this statement describes what community care is. It describes all the activities and practices we are to engage in to improve people’s lives in and out of our scope of reach.
But why? You may ask. What are the benefits of this kind of Community Care?
A community is a familiar thread used to unite people to advocate and support each other in the fight to overcome challenges. As human beings, we need a sense of belonging. It is what connects us to the many different relationships we develop. This sense quenches the urge for the meaningfulness of life we’ve always sought as a specie.
And so, a strong community benefits individuals, the community itself, and the greater society. It creates a more stable and supportive culture.
People of all ages who feel a sense of belonging tend to lead happier and healthier lives.
Community care means supporting each other and working together to address all members’ physical, emotional and general well-being.
Community care guides the efforts to build skills, confidence and people’s ability to participate and adapt to the new demands of our ever-changing world.
