everything.”

“Communities and countries and ultimately the world are only as strong

as the health of their women.”

Michelle Obama

“ It is health that is real wealth and not pieces of

gold and silver.”

Mahatma Gandhi

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
