7.0 Challenges
On the other hand, as the project develop, the explained
challenges below have become our hindrance to the progress of
our project.
1. Wind Instruments, as the project uses music as our core
activity, we are limited by the brass instruments as the
number of children and youth keep increasing time to time.
2. Inadequate Funding. The project wishes to do a lot of
developmental things but the funds raised is still a challenge.
We need to pay the project employees but due to less
funding we are still having volunteers that are helping to
manage the project.
3. Home &Space for practice. As we have not purchased our
own land, the space for handling practice session is a
challenge to our project.
4. Transport, as the project uses transport to run the activities
well, we have not gotten our own means of transport in the
movement of youngsters and the officials at large. The
project uses public means which makes it expensive to
decide for itself.
5. In conclusion therefore, if we're and funded by well-
wishers of Brass for Children, the project will progress and
shine. Having gotten enough funds, some challenges will be
addressed and the set objectives and goals will be archived.
