Development Works believes the focus should be on villagers and their community. Always, we tend to stay in the background, seeing our job to provide support where best needed, not to be in charge. In the communities we work, many villagers are surprised to learn of our presence.

Still, word in Kandahar is spreading. Dozens of communities from across the province have invited us to work in their village, and local and international media are also covering our progress:
