"My primary objective is to construct a larger and more comfortable home for my family. Our current house is old and dilapidated and does not provide adequate protection from rain and other harsh weather conditions. I firmly believe that by saving at least three months' worth of transfers, I can initiate this project without delay. The prospect of accomplishing this brings me great joy because it signifies that my family will reside in a secure and safe environment, ultimately granting me peace of mind."

"It's been 3 years without planting our farms. We depend on burning charcoal from selected trees, that grow faster. Hence are allowed. Due to the long periods of drought, we have had food shortages. Food insecurity is a challenge for us. We also depend on casual jobs which are hard to come by. One is paid $2 a day. It's not enough to buy food for a family, especially with the high cost of living."

"I have three children in secondary school. It's hard raising their school fees, it's a lot of money to pay for us. Another child will be joining next year. One child needs about $500 for a full year of education. Raising this amount is difficult and our children are always send home. We depend on burning charcoal, their are specific trees that are allowed. Doing charcoal burning and casual jobs cannot fully sustain our children's education. We're always worried about their futures, education is very important."

"It's been difficult feeding my family of 3. I separated with my husband and now fully supporting my 2 children. My ex-husband left with one child. Providing for a family alone has been hard, especially with the elongated drought. This means I depend on casual jobs such as washing people's clothes for a living. It's not reliable, sometimes I don't get jobs. Therefore, I cannot provide a stable food supply for my children. It's also hard raising money to support their other needs."

"She plans on buying another bull, and building materials for a new house she hopes to put up. She hasn't fully planned for all the money yet."

"I hope to clear payments on my land by the end of this year and construct so I can relocate my family."

"Buying land and building and taking children to better schools"

"Prolonged droughts and uncertain weather patterns have been a big challenge in our lives. Since we depend on farming to make ends meet, the lack of enough rain led to poor productivity on our farm. This has forced us to purchase food for my family which is hard since I depend on casual work. This saddens me because sometimes I don't get work and my family will have to eat the little that is available."

"My biggest challenge is a lack of land. This challenge I'm facing came as a result of lake Baringo water that swallowed our lands. This forced us to move out and borrowed land from our neighbours. This however is very stressful since I cannot do any development is a land that does not belong to me."

"The biggest challenge I'm facing currently is the lack of money and strength to do farming. 2 years ago water from lake Baringo moved to my farm which distanilized me and affected my ability to farm. This has been a challenge since I don't have money to be able to do large scale farming which I solely depend on. This makes my life difficult since I have to do casual work to be able to pay school fees for my 3 children."
