Space Constraints:

Inadequate Space for Programs: The current rented facility needs more space to accommodate our growing programs effectively. Our limited space, around 2000 sq ft, restricts the number of beneficiaries we can serve and hampers the quality of our services.

Poor Ventilation: Inadequate ventilation in the facility poses health risks to our beneficiaries and staff.

Lack of proper airflow leads to discomfort and may exacerbate existing health conditions.

Overall Unsuitability: The layout and design of the facility do not meet the specific needs of individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). Unfavorable conditions hinder the delivery of our educational, vocational, and therapeutic programs.

Financial Strain:

High Annual Rental Cost: The annual rental cost is Rs.60 Lakhs ($71K), a significant financial burden on our organisation.

Allocation of such a substantial portion of our budget to rent limits our ability to invest in program expansion and improvement.

Impact on Resource Allocation: The substantial rental expense diverts resources from essential programs and services for individuals with IDD.

Limited funding availability restricts our capacity to implement new initiatives and meet the increasing needs of our community.

Community Needs Analysis Beneficiaries:

Current Number: Approximately 2000 individuals benefit from our programs annually.

Future Needs: With an increasing demand for our services, we anticipate a rise in the number of beneficiaries in the coming years.
