The child is part of the family and the family, in turn, is part of the community. As CFI works for the development of the child, we address different needs of the community. CFI so far has constructed more than 1000 houses and Sanitary blocks for tribal and rural people. CFI has vast experience in community development work, the community where CFI has worked has become self-sustainable and a role model for other tribal villages. CFI do take the help of volunteers from various fields who can contribute their knowledge for the welfare of the people. Many students from foreign universities do visit CFI villages to work as a volunteer and contribute to the community. Recently CFI developed a village named Varvane, this village is on a hill, and this village lacked lots of basic facilities, like drinking water, sanitation facilities, permanent houses, electricity, a community hall, and a lack of educational awareness. CFI with the help of generous donors in Norway developed this village to near sustainability.
