vulnerable communities

Vulnerable communities are groups of people who face increased risks of hardship or harm due to social, economic, health, or environmental challenges. These communities may have limited access to resources like education, healthcare, or jobs, making them more susceptible to issues like poverty, illness, or displacement. Factors such as age, disability, race, or location can contribute to their vulnerability. Recognizing these communities helps in creating targeted support and policies to promote equity, resilience, and improved well-being for all members.
