"My house is old,small and in a bad condition. The roof is grass thatched and leaks during the rainy weather. I have for a long time admired an iron sheet roof. I will use 300 USD to build a two roomed house. I have also budgeted 150 USD to buy 5 goats. The goats will help me pay school fees in a few months time."

"I do not have enough food and clothes to feed my family"

"Mostly i am unable to feed my children 3 times as its supposed to be. Right now we have no food for lunch"

"We have problems finding food"

"Lack of money"

"The biggest hardship is lack of school fees. I dropped out of Collage in 2019 due to lack of school fees. This was the most challenging time because education is my only hope out of abject poverty. It is so sad that upto now I haven't cleared fees for my high school education that is why I don't own a high school certificate."

"I will use this money to build a house and purchase a dairy cow. Currently I am living in an old grass thatched house which is too small for me. When I build a new house I will use the grass thatched house as a kitchen. The dairy cow I am planning to purchase will help me to get milk for subsistence and for selling them too."

"The biggest hardship that I have faced in my life is that of struggling to pay school fees. My mother left us with our father who then decided to have a second wife. It has been hard for me managing to pull through my education journey all by myself but I thank God that I have been able to outgrow my challenges."

"The biggest hardship that I have faced is when I lost my parents. I am a single mother and I used to rely on them a lot to help raise my two children. It was not until I secured a job at a flower farm that things changed for the better. Life was good until the untimely dismissal that we received from our company yet again."

"Raising up my 4 children has not been easy. I always want the best for my children but with the little income I get,it has been a struggle. This has made it hard to fully satisfy their needs such as food,clothing and school fees. I am a farmer and with the unpredictable weather pattern, I am never assured of getting good harvest . The little I get from my farm is only enough to feed us for a few months with no surplus left for sale."
