"The biggest hardship that I face in my life is that we don't have a stable income source and the heavy rains destroyed crops on our farm so we are forced to seek for handouts and at times we go to bed hungry."

"The biggest hardship that I face in my life is that currently I don't have a bull that I can use in ploughing my farm hence making me to do a lot of manual work like digging so that I can prepare my farm for planting season. I also face a challenge of accessing clean water as our area faces severe drought and we walk long distance to access water."
