Challenges:

• Performing the projects from self-funding, hence some mental health services are
  weighty on WPEI to execute.
• Network and power issues most time affect reporting from Rann due to its location.
• Community Volunteers are not informed on mental health activities.

Recommendations:

• Capacity building for community volunteers.
•  Coordinate with partners with solar panel to enhance power generation to power
  laptops and phones for prompt reporting.
•  Coordinate with the health sector and other partners for possible funding hence the
  mental health services are weighty for WPEI to execute.
