What has been your biggest hurdle?
Although our mission is clear and conscience to the service of people living in marginalised communities, the reality is that most our clients do not have the financial capacity to acquire our products and services. Our biggest hurdle continues to be the ability to secure substantial funding to support our lower income clients and as prices of material continue to rise it has become harder to decrease our prices to fit their income bracket.
