"My biggest hardship was loosing my wife who was sick and left me with a young baby. Meeting my daily needs is also a problem since you can spend a whole day without carrying anyone hence no money."

"The biggest hardship I have is lack of a sustainable source of income for both myself and my spouse, we therefore have to survive on the little money we get from my kiosk and his income from the motorcycle taxi which is barely enough to support our family's needs."

"The biggest hardship I have right now is that I was involved in a motorcycle accident recently and cannot do any work that generates income,so my family has to survive on the little money my spouse get from selling fish. This money is barely enough to support our family's needs and we often lack a lot of essential items in the house."
