"The biggest hardship that I face right now is lack of enough money to pay school fees for all my children, my only source of income is my motorcycle taxi, but this can hardly cater for all their basic needs, in fact some of them may drop out of school because they have fee arrears."

"The biggest hardship that I face right now is lack of enough money to build a house for myself. My spouse chased me away from home and ever since I have been living in my sister in law's house, this is humiliating and dehumanising as she is my late brother's wife and I should be the one taking care of her."
