"Life as a woman in this area comes with a fair share of challenges. I cover close to 3 kilometers looking for water that I use for my household chores and to make the situation worse I carry it on my back. I do that 4-5 times a day because ones is never enough. This leaves me so exhausted and sometimes with persistent backaches. Take note that I do this single-handedly without the help of my husband because culturally he is not supposed to engage himself in such kind of work. That means I use half of my day fetching water alone instead of doing much more productive activities that will take my family forward economically. I also have to go the forest to get some firewood which again is quite a distance. All this work often gets me so overwhelmed that I sometimes wish I was a man."

"My husband is employed as a motorcycle taxi driver in a nearby center here. However, his income of about 2 dollars a day is only enough for our meals and not any other developmental project. This has forced us to sleep in a dilapidated house for the 3 years of our marriage. Our biggest challenge therefore is lack of financial resources to invest in our future."
