Community-Based Organizations
Community-Based Organizations (CBOs) are non-profit groups that work at the local level to address specific needs within a community. They often focus on areas such as education, health, housing, and social services, aiming to improve the quality of life for residents. CBOs are typically formed by community members who understand the unique challenges their area faces.
These organizations rely on local resources and partnerships to implement programs and services. By engaging with residents, CBOs foster a sense of ownership and empowerment, encouraging individuals to participate in decision-making processes. This grassroots approach helps build stronger, more resilient communities.
