"The biggest hardship I have faced in my life is lack of a reliable source of income to meet my family's needs especially food.

The small kiosk I own has been unable to sustain my family given that most neighbors purchase goods on credit and fail to pay in time rendering me hopeless."

Hopefully I will ignite my dream in the near future."

"The biggest hardship in my life has been unemployment, I would love to have enough capital to start rearing poultry in large scale and get some income from it. It is not easy depending only on my husband's income yet I know he really struggles in providing all the basic needs. I don't want to feel like I'm always a burden. If I start my own business then our combined income will be enough for the family."
