The paper shows how rural community health should help people to discover the causes of their poverty and ill-health, so that they may be able to tackle more effectively the issues of social injustice. It is a way of motivating the people to mobilize themselves to resist the domination of the traditionally powerful. If this is not done, community health may remain only a social service which keeps the people dependent, rather than participants in their own social development.
