H.E.D.C. Are Active Citizens
H.E.D.C. are active citizens who use community development techniques on a voluntary basis. In addition, there are other professions and agencies, which we use as a community development approach. We focus on relationships and facilitating understanding, evaluation, involvement, exchange of information, and opinions about concepts, issues, and projects to build social capital and enhance social outcomes through decision-making. Our aim is community-capacity building, focusing on helping transform relationships between ordinary people and people in positions of power so that everyone can take part in the issues that affect masses in a community. We are determined to build communities based on justice, equality, and mutual respect and revitalize communities, especially those impoverished or struggling.
