Empowerment is a process in which people of the community are aware of their needs and desires; they gain a kind of self-confidence and self-reliance to overcome those needs and, based on that, they can fulfill their goals. As a result, this institution provides empowerment through facilitating programs and training programs with trust, participation, solidarity, and awareness of the components of social capital in an organ in the community.
