"In the year 2018 my daughter got sick and she was diagnosed with cancer, the process of treatment started and being a jobless person who depends only on the husband things ware very hard. I was forced to sell all the dairy animals in the compound, sheep and piece of land so that I can pay for her medication. I spend all the resources in medication leaving us without anything. That is the biggest hardship have ever faced."

"The biggest hardship in my life is hunger. This area does not receive normal rainfall so that it affects us in the way that what we harvest is meagre. Hence as poor people we fail to buy food from the markets since prices are also high"

"The biggest hardship I have faced in my life is when i was tested HIV positive. Being in this status i need good food but due to poverty it is imposible so my health is not good. Therefore every day i feel sorry for my children as you can see they are very young, how will they survive if i die."

"The meaning of receiving this money is that the organisation wants to uplift our socio economic status so that we should a good life. Many of us here are poor as you can see most of our houses are grass thatched, food is also a problem so with this money things will change"

"The hardest part of my day is finding food for my family"

"The biggest hardship in my life is getting enough food for my family. My husband is the door provider. I have always wished to also contribute to his efforts. If I get a dairy cow, selling milk will enable me to buy other household items as we wait for his salary. This will ease his burden."

"The biggest harship I face with in my household aside not having enough food is the lack of kitchen utensils in my house and also blankets."

"Income source is a challenge. We depend on subsistence farming and the money from farming is not enough to support my family."

"The biggest hardship we have faced is the frequent droughts we experience in our area. As a subsistence farmer, I would like to irrigate my farms during the dry seasons. Unfortunately, I have never afforded to acquire the necessary equipment for storing water and irrigating my farms. As such, droughts have been destroying our crops, making it difficult for us to survive, meet our financial and food demands."

"The main challenge is money access. I struggle a lot to find money. I don't have a reliable source of income."
