Every community has desires and needs, which in a rational and orderly manner and with
the use of necessary resources can be subject to intelligent satisfaction, to
through actions that reflect their preferences and priority aspirations and not of
concrete individuals, factions or power groups within it or agencies
external. One of the ways to satisfy the desires of a community is through
community social projects or social investment, which could be defined as:
set of interrelated activities to achieve objectives, in a time and
determined space, combining organized work, resource utilization and
coordination of efforts, so that their effects remain over time and
modify a situation that negatively affects the lives of a group of people,
producing favorable changes for its development. The activities must be
planned based on minimal information resulting from the response to a
series of questions like those posed in the following table.
In this regard, community social projects aim to solve a
problem or satisfy an important need of a certain sector of the
population; that is to say, its purpose is to seek solutions to specific problems and they are the
that allow for the improvement of the social conditions of a population and its context,

provision of specific social services.
