"Not having enough land to cultivate is our main challenge we have to work for others to be able to get money to rent a land to produce what to eat and pay for school fees for our children. And my daughter Agnes had to drop out of school because we can only afford school fees for one. Getting fertiliser is not easy , we have to herd livestock for others to be able to get fertiliser to use and we are not able to get money to buy inorganic fertiliser."

"Getting what to eat to is not easy , my children are in school and to be able to pay for their school fees i have to work for others and raise money to support them and pay for our medical insurance. I have a small land which is not fertile , and i currently don't have any livestock to give me fertiliser i have to go and ask from my neighbours for it. The house we rent is very small and sometimes i face difficulty getting money to pay for it."

"Not being able to get capital is the main challenge we are currently facing because when we approach banks and cooperatives they give us a few days for repayment, my husband vianney asked for a loan of $100 and when he got apporoval to get it they immediately deducted their interest and he received $81 which had to be paid in a period of one year installments for every 3 months. When we received that amount we started a business of raising livestocks , we bought 3 goats which we had to sell every 3 months to be able to pay out the loan and in actual reality we faced loses and penalties , we didn't operate as we expected because much pressure was on getting money to pay back without even gaining any profit and later on some programs that helps small businesses and pay back after getting profits come in our village but they required mortgage which we don't possess and therefore having a capital to start a business is our main challenge. Infrastructure in our village is another challenge because we don't have access to roads, electricity and water which doesn't allow us to work properly or even get enough income from our activities. Getting fertiliser to use is still a challenge, to use either Organic and inorganic is very expensive. to get inorganic requires money and we don't have livestock to get the organic fertiliser."

"The main challenge we are facing is that our house is damaged it has wholes in the walls since last year and we are afraid that anytime it can fall down. The other challenge is that we have insufficient land for growing crops and because of that we don't produce enough from it ,hence insufficient food for my family. Lastly, 6 months ago we have sold our cow and we did so because we needed money to buy a piece of land and when we see the the cow bridge in which it used to stay we feel like we wish to put another one for replacement."

"The main challenge we are facing is poverty because we always get something to eat by buying as well as the soap and other needs. We are always required to pay for everything we need yet we don't have money. Besides, we don't have any livestocks being small or cows, we don't have manure to put in our small land we use to grow food crops. Therefore we don't produce enough from agriculture. In general we are very poor as u can see, even to get the money to pay for health insurance we have to cultivate for others."

"Their main challenge I am facing is poverty, because nowadays I don't have money to pay for uniforms and school feeding for my child, I don't have money to pay for health insurance. The other challenge is that I'm living in high risk zone where I wish to leave and go to settle in a good place with others but I don't have means to do so."

"The main challenge we are facing is that we have small land for agriculture , and because of that we don't produce enough, hence the insufficient food for my family. In addition to that we are worried about our children's future because we will not be able to give them their inheritance because we don't have enough pieces of land that will be given to them. The other challenge is that we don't have small livestocks like goats and sheeps and they are very supportive because when you have them you cane sell them and get the money to be used in other needs."

"My wife with 3 children had left me because of poverty, Living alone and working alone for $2.5 per day in construction, I can't afford everything I want for living because I am supposed to use much effort in that job. My house is damaged, some clay tiles are broken, this has affected my life and sometimes I got a cold and went to the health center instead of working"

"My husband left me 7 years ago because he has another wife and this is the second year that I always feel alot of pain in my leg, when I want to go to the hospital I always take a small loan of $40 in order to pay my bill, This has affected my small business of selling banana beer and The life of my children , the development of my household because always travel for my leg treatment."

"My house is not furnished yet, no cement inside the house, no door on some bedrooms, when I am sleeping, I don't feel secured, my children don't have their bed and matelas, they are not happy. I don' t have my own cow to produce fertilizer and this affected my harvest to feed my family"
