Challenges

Even as Nyabondo continue to serve the community, there are challenges that we continue to experience;

  • Inadequate financial support to help the institution grow in terms of infrastructure, human resource and other key areas of operations
  • Overwhelming service delivery to persons with disabilities who are vulnerable and unable to cater for the cost of service provided
  • Donor fatigue that has seen most donors either withdraw or reduce support, this has made it difficult for sustainability of most the programs at the Centre
