Cases of domestic violence have been on the increase in most of the families due to the challenges that a family may be enduring. Therefore, it would be appropriate if community development projects are established to provide awareness on how to handle these issues. The education should try and evaluate the challenges that may be leading to domestic violence. Proper evaluation should also be conducted to help provide possible solutions to the affected families. This will go a long way in ensuring that the community gets rid of cases of domestic violence.

Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STD’s) have been on the increase despite the efforts that have been established to reduce the increase in these infections. STDS are particularly common among the youth since they easily engage in risky sexual practices. Development projects should be established within the community to provide education on the need of safe sexual practices and how to avoid them (Holmes, 2008). The projects should also go the extra mile by providing the affected individuals with condoms and lubricants as a way of trying to reduce infection rates.
