Hi everyone,
Indeed a community is not a group of people living in the same area. The group of people are connected by common interest. Based on this assertion, people can live in different locations but still form a community. For example, the community made up of the physically disabled people. They live in different places but share one thing in common.
Currently, NGOs are becoming strong partners in most communities in solving problems. They play a crucial role in bringing community members together and providing important information that helps to solve issues. In fact, a single community can have the presence of more than one NGO. In such cases, the NGOs can be dealing with single or multiple problems.

Hello,
I concur with Naikee’s stance on community partnership. There is strength in togetherness. If people combine their efforts, there are chances that they will achieve more. Common problems in community are interconnected. One problem can lead to another. This is the reason why a single problem can affect everyone in the community. For example, alcoholism and drug abuse leads to insecurity and school dropout. Although some members may not be directly affected by alcoholism, they will definitely be affected by insecurity.
Everyone’s efforts promote faster and effective solutions to problems. Security agencies can help to provide security while schools can educate teenagers on the dangers of alcoholism and substance abuse. Religious institutions can guide followers into leading a holly life that respects the rule of law.
