"Lack of food has been the main challenge for me and my family because we do not harvest much. The main reason for this is because we do not apply fertilizer in our gardens as I can not afford to buy fertilizer. Fertilizer is very expensive and you need to have more money to buy even a single bag"

"The biggest hardship i have faced in my life is lack of food. I do not have enough food because the harvests is always a little. This is so because i can not afford to buy fertilizer as it is expensive. A bag of fertilizer costs about K25 000 and i would need at least 6 which i can't manage. I eat once a day most of the times so that the little food we have can take us some more days"
