"Financial crisis is the biggest hardship that I have ever faced in my life. This is because I am doing charcoal work that earns me KES 4000 per month. Due to this, I have been struggling to meet the basic needs of my household and sometimes I fail to put food on the table."

"Getting people to build my house is challenging for me because they charged me too much money that I can't afford currently so that has been a serious challenge for me."

"The challenges I'm faced with currently are, a comfortable shelter and food for my household. Since my husband died 2014, things have been difficult for I and my children I have to sell to make enrn means for my family."

"The major challenge I'm facing is to feed my family. The only source of survival for my family is, when I cut palm to produce pamoil for sale. In producing the oil, it takes a lot of processes and I have to take it miles away for sale before getting few cups of rice for my family eat."

"The reason why I'm struggling day and night is to send my brothers and my children to school so getting this money might just suit my plan."

"Using myself each day for farming is my major challenge"

"Currently I am greatly faced with how to build my house,and you and I know if you don't have money you can't build a house.So I will say to you money is the hold on to my success. My grandfather use to say, money solved all problems and this for sure I now believe it. The land is already there only money I am waiting for and money is my challenge. If I had the kind of money others have then long time what we talking is a different story but I know one day this will come to pass and it is already here from your visit here today."

"The hard time is plenty but the main one is the farming work. I am here alone with my grand child.But when farming time comes I have to set basket and save money for some period of time to hired the football team cooked for them to keep them doing active and good work. Time to sow is another money spending and every stage of the farming is difficult and very challenging. I am really tired of farm work but what can I do now, continue until I get this money then all my struggle will end. The problem I am faced with now will reduce small because of the money you people will give me."

"Getting food and money during the rainy season is my current challenge. I wake up early in the morning to get in the bush, cut baboons to weave basket. The basket I sell some and the rest of it I carried it on the water every day to set it, any thing I catch from there can be sold and the little be left for eating. But when the rain gets heavy no way to get out, by that time the hunger can almost want to kill us. No more selling now because I can't go on the water again so I focus on my farming work to plant crops just to keep the children and myself moving on. Getting food and money money now is my current problem I see that I have."

"Living in a decent and specious iron roofed house with the family is the biggest difference in my daily life. This enabled me bring the family members under one roof something that will increase the family bond. In addition, I am no longer worried about the safety of my children at night."
