gold and silver.”

Community empowerment refers to the process of enabling communities to increase control over their lives. ‘Empowerment ’ refers to the process by which people gain control over the factors and decisions that shape their lives. It is the process by which they increase their assets and attributes and build capacities to gain
access, partners, networks and/or a voice, in order to gain control.
World Health Organization
“ Healthy citizens are the greatest asset any country
can have.”
Winston Churchill
