"The biggest hardship I have faced in my life was losing my father when I was just about to join secondary school. I had to stay at home for one year before going back to school. We spent all the money we had in making burial arrangements for my father."

"The biggest hardship I have faced in life is losing a job. My spouse and I lost jobs at the same time and were back in our rural home without resources to sustain the family. We went hungry for days while children were not able to go to school. We were so much stressed up."

"The biggest hardship I have faced in life is severe hunger. Prolonged drought led to low crop yield which we consumed within a short time. Without a stable source of income, we had to face hunger and starvation. It was not an easy experience for me."

"The biggest hardship I have faced in my life is looking for a job. I keep on applying for jobs but I encounter hurdles of immortality for me to be considered. In most cases I loss the opportunities because I don't accept their immoral demands. Alongside competition from other professionals, I have not found it smoother."

"The biggest hardship I have faced in life is providing for my family. I was involved in a road accident while driving a car with our children to school when a tyre burst and the car rolled over. I broke my hand and leg and injured my chest. I cannot do physical jobs and getting alternative jobs has been a challenge."
