dc.description.abstractCommunity constitutes the people living in one locality. In our study context, it refers to rural communities, that is, people living in the rural areas. Participation is taking part, being or becoming actively involved in something or some work. Community participation is, therefore, the active involvement of the whole people in the affairs or realities of concern to their community. Everyone takes part actively in every activity or organisation in that particular community. People become their own agents of development. The community participation for rural transformation is taken as the people's involvement in development projects by contributing human labour and material resources. It also includes the involvement of the same people in identifying their needs for development From there, the planning of a project or programme is undertaken. On this, Francis Wainbugu comments, "Common people are seldom consulted in the formulation of the plans and programmes and fixing of priorities". Need arises to acknowledge involving people in development projects that concern them at all crucial levels, namely, designing/planning, implementation and evaluation. In order to be genuine, this community participation should be present. The rural communities should be empowered to solve by themselves, their own problems. If it so, human development becomes totally genuine and embraces the whole person physically, emotionally. psychologically and spiritually. Their daily physical needs especially shelter, food, water, heat and security are addressed. Psychologically and emotionally love, care and company They also have need for personal relationship with the supernatural being. This search for truth about ultimate concerns and the mystery of life, death and God constitute the vital spiritual developmenten_US
