Having good physical and mental health helps people and communities develop properly in different areas of their lives, including the physical,social, cultural, and emotional ones. It also lets them participate actively in community projects to reduce risky situations for health, security, and the environment.

By living in a community, common needs are met, such as access to health and education, public services like water, electricity, and sewage,and places for recreational, sport, and cultural activities. This kind of life requires collective participation to solve existing problems in your town or neighborhood through community life projects, where neighbors,families, teachers, and students can establish goals to improve these situations.

With your family, walk along the streets of your town or neighborhood and write in your notebook the collective needs that you find.

Some examples are participating in voluntary work, cleaning public spaces, protecting, and taking care of the environment, or helping vulnerable people, including older adults or homeless people.

The needs of a group of people are called collective needs. A few examples of these are housing, nutrition, and water services. Each community has its own needs and goals, depending on how people live and get organized.
