"The biggest hardship that I face right now is lack of a sustainable source of income. I am just a casual worker and the income I get is hardly enough to cater for my family's basic needs and education. This means that my family has to do without a lot of basic needs like nutritious food and quality education as they are often sent home from school due to my inability to pay school fees."
