The research is motivated by the importance of Village Funds as a key instrument for community-based development and the improvement of rural welfare. A qualitative descriptive approach was employed, with data collected through field observations, in-depth interviews with village officials and community members, and a review of planning documents and financial reports. The findings indicate that Village Funds have made a significant contribution to the development of various village facilities and infrastructure, including roads, bridges, irrigation systems, religious facilities, and sanitation programs.
