"Most of times we lack food for survival because we do not harvest enough. This is so as we cannot afford to buy fertilizer."

"I do not have enough food as I did not harvest enough last year due to too much heat waves which burnt my crops"

"The biggest hardship I have faced in life is inadequacy of funds to cater for my family because my farming efforts have have proven futile due to the prevailing unfavourable weather conditions. As such, this has forced to resort to other income generating activities such as working as a casual laborer within the village. The casual labor I get depends on its nature since each work has different ratings in terms of pay yet it is hard to come by. Having a stable source of income in the near future will be a relief to me but I am still undecided on which to venture in."

"The biggest hardship I faced in my life was losing my parents at a young age which made me struggle as a child and miss education which would have helped me now when am grown."

"With this piece of land that I have bought, I will be able to till it and get food for my family. My family will therefore be having enough food that will sustain them for a while. I have also planted some onions on the farm which I plan to sell when they mature and get money. The crop residues that I will get from the farm will serve as feed for my cows."
