"The biggest hardship for my household has been unemployment, I managed to go to college where I was studying for a course in biology. Unfortunately my parents prioritized my elder brothers education before mine and I was forced to drop out in my third year of school. My brother later died, but at that time I had gotten married already. My husband could not afford to pay my school fees so I decided to let that dream go. Sometimes I wonder if I had finished, then I would be able to help my husband in providing for the family since his job is based on short contracts."

"The biggest hardship in my life has been financial strains. It has always been a struggle to provide all the basic needs for my children. My husband barely sends any remittances home and so I am forced to use all the income I get for the household. I barely have anything to save for future use. Most of the time I struggle with providing quality education to my children because even though public schools are free, there are still other school expenses that I have to pay and since I mostly do it alone, my children often get sent home for school expenses."

"The biggest hardship I have faced in life is taking care of five orphans while I was still a young family with kids to provide and care for too. The relatively little profits we used to attain from my small business could hardly sustain us. However, I thank God for enabling me to support them; they are now all adults. In fact one of them graduated from a local university and is seeking formal emplyment. Precisely, I think that we could have made significant developments as a family if not for the increased responsibilities and liabilities we had."

"I bought building materials"

"If I did not receive these transfers I would have been poor. I do not have a job so I do not earn any money. These transfers have really helped me move out from poverty."
