Abstract
Social capital is considered a humanitarian objective which the Social
work work aims to fulfill. That is through strengthening the social
relationships among individuals, groups and communities. When social
relations are weak, community may be subject to breakdown and collapse.

relationships which in turn makes individuals stronger, empowers the group
unity and makes the community more sustainable.
