"The biggest hardship that I am faced with is lack of land for cultivation. I can not cultivate in order to get food to feed the family. I do casual labour which is very unreliable to provide for my household. Sometimes I am able to earn five thousand shillings in a day, sometimes ten thousand and in other days nothing. I just work for family survival but I can not save anything. I have never been able to buy land because I don't have the resources and yet there is need."
