"The biggest hardship that I face in my life is that farming is not easy and we don't have enough funds that we can use to hire ploughing machines like a tractor hence we really do a lot of manual work so that we can plant our crops. At times my kids are sent home for school fees and as our farm depends on the rains so we really face a challenge when it comes to getting school fees during the dry season as we don't have any produce to sell."
