BRINGING HOPE TO THE RURAL PEOPLE





The rural people have the largest percentage of idle youths without job, untrained in any formal learning, without skill and the greatest problem is that they do not see HOPE in any thing.  This negative mindset makes them believe that CHANGE is unattainable.  Here, at The Rural People, we go from creek to creek, village to village and community to community influencing their mindset by sensitizing and motivating them to use their resources in bringing sustainable development.  
Initiating developmental efforts from one rural community to another is done in the form of giving learning/educational aids, introduction and training in skill acquisition programmes/farming tools, economic empowerment and others.
We invite you to be part of our activities/projects so that together we can all make an ATTEMPT in bringing sustainable development in the rural areas by volunteering or becoming a donor in any of our projects that you have concerns for.  Visit our blog at theruralpeople.blogspot.com and leave your comments, follow us on twitter.com/theruralpeople or send an email to theruralpeople@gmail.com.  You can also visit our page at www.facebook.com/theruralpeople or call +2348025295479.

THE NEED FOR THEMATIC INVESTIGATION/RESEARCH IN COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES

THE NEED FOR THEMATIC INVESTIGATION/RESEARCH IN COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES The need for research cannot be overemphasized in the organization of community development activities.    A lot of persons have depended on common sense in selecting what they consider as the most common need of the rural dwellers and have ignorantly embarked on such activities.   Thematic investigation is always one of the first activities embarked upon before and after a community development proposal has been approved.   Again, thematic investigation also   means ‘searching for facts; finding answers to questions;   identifying an existing problem and   getting closest solutions to these identified problem’ amongst others. Again, thematic investigation gives the rural dwellers the opportunity to explain in their own words how they feel, what they think and how they make sense of the world they live in.     The following are some of the reas...
