"In the year 2019, brother-in-law burnt down our houses following some disputes that he had with my family. As such, we were forced to sell virtually everything we possessed get funds for buying a piece of land elsewhere and build new houses. We opted to sell our property since we anticipated that the case may take longer owing to the relatively slow processing of cases by our courts. Hence, losing my houses served as the biggest hardship I have faced because we are yet to find justice and regain our wealth."

"My husband went to SouthAfrica and simetimes does not send any financial help am grateful to Gd as i will use this money to buy more food clothes and beddings for my family"

"I do not have any money to pay school fees for my son"

"As a parent, our main goal is to see our children get the best education and enough food. Since nowadays resources are getting scarce due to the growing population we have sort to invest in education. I have one who is to join college, two at the secondary level, and three at the primary level. Our source of income is subsistence farming and due to a lack of money to purchase farm inputs, we could not manage to utilize the whole land. Mostly, I am supposed to raise around 50,000 shillings yearly for school fees and this has not been easy because my farm produces 3 sacks of onions only. Receiving this money will eventually assist me to pay school fees and some portion to buy more farm inputs."

"The payment of school fees for my children has been my biggest challenge. In the years between 1994 to 1999, I was struggling to pay school fees for my three children at the secondary level and my wife was still in college. Also, at this time one of my children was seriously sick. I was a bit stressed because the 6,000 shillings I earned as a civil servant was not enough, I was almost failing as a parent to fulfill my duties."

"The scarcity of reliable sources of income has been my biggest hardship. This has forced me to engage in temporary and low paying casual activities like teaching in my nearby school as a parent-teachers association which I only earn less than 5000 shillings a month. It is hard enough to feed and buy clothes for my 3 children."

"The biggest hardship we have faced was financing treatment for my ailing husband. The hospital bill was getting huge every now then till we could not afford any more. The saddest thing we lost him after trying all we could."
