"The biggest hardship that I have faced in life is scarcity of water. I live in a water scarce area and this gets worst during dry season. I have to walk distances to the lake to fetch water."

"The biggest hardship that I face in my life is shortage of water as where we get water is very far and we walk for over two hours to reach the water point and at times we even miss the water after covering that long distance."

"I am planning to spend my transfer on digging a borehole so that we can have water in our compound as getting water is really a problem in a place, I am a preacher and I got sick and we are not allowed to use public means so I will use part of the cash on contributing towards the funds that we are trying to save as a church so that we can buy a vehicle."
