"Depending on subsistence farming to provide basic needs for my big family of eight is a challenge. Sometimes we ought to forgo lunch so that we can save a little cash. That's the biggest hardship I have."

enrolled.
"In the year 2017, our car was involved on an accident. Fortunately, no one was hurt but the vehicle was baddly damaged - and it was not insured. Accordingly, we had to spend most of the monies we had in repairing it - and it is not fully functional. As a result, our house has stalled because we have no more funds to use. Hence, I find that incident (accident) as the biggest challenge I have faced in life."

Paul
enrolled.
"After struggling through secondary school due to hardship of fees, I failed to join college to pursue my dream course - Mechanics. Accordingly, I have been tackling tiresome casual work that can barely meet my family's demands and needs. Hence, I feel that failing to do a course in mechanics is the biggest hardship I have faced in life. I could not secure a white collar job and get my family more quality services."
