In the proccess the organization also faced some challenges :-

• Not managed to reach the interior parts to offer this services since there was no enough resource to facilitate the proccess.
• Reaching to school children was a bit hard due to the tidious proccess.
• Some missing things in the stand alone site in order to attract more youths eg indoor games and dstvs channel.
• Un able to financialy/nutritionally support the post test clubs this are groups formed by those clients who were tested and found positive.
• Insecurity inthe district was also a big challenge especially for moon light services.
• Paying rent which is not supported by any donour.


• Establish a strong post test clubs for all the tested clients.
• To use different approach to the vulnarable groups esppecially muslim community.
• To construct our own VCT site and office to reduce a rental cost.
