The Mvula Trust believes that basic community infrastructure works can trigger livelihood improvements and good governance. The infrastructure that the Mvula Trust participates in delivering, support individuals, families and groups to meet their social needs, maximise their potential and enhance community wellbeing.

The community-based approach on infrastructure creation ensures full-cycle community participation by supporting or establishing community-based institutions that will undertake the social workshops for the planning and decisions on the project priorities, as well as the implementation of the works.

The Mvula Trust community-based model ensures that community participation is built on inclusion and legitimacy. Community participation is reinforced through social auditing, which generates trust and thus enables progress both concerning enhanced community cohesion and the construction of a positive relationship with the local government municipality.
