The results show that 47 (83%) of the participants thought that initiatives for community empowerment make a contribution to the economic progress of Makuuku sub county by creating formal jobs and opportunities for consciousness, while 7 (12%) also agreed and 3 (5%) were unsure of the charitable donation. Regarding the second component, women currently provide services related to health care. 29 (51%) people agreed, 12 (21%) strongly agreed, 3 (5%) were unsure, while 8 (14%) and 5 (9%) disagreed.
