“My community had a problem of insecurity with lots of theft and with women being raped. All of these vices were taking place near and around our school community. I mobilized the community, my leaders, and all stakeholders, and we constructed a police post. The empowerment I received from the Abundant Leadership Institute helped me maneuver through this entire situation. After that, we carried out asset-based community development (ABCD) training for 55 participants from the community.”
