"I do cook in the open air due to the lack of structure that can serve as a kitchen. It becomes difficult to prepare a meal during the rainy season. I am planning to utilize this money to erect a structure and as well invest the rest in agriculture by purchasing goats which will act as my long-term investment."

"I am facing a lot of challenges but the main one is financial problems. Apart from making farm to produce fufu and farina, cutting palm to produce oil and setting trap for meat, we don't have any other source of income. Because of the financial hardship faced by my family we can't afford to build a house and support our children in school."
