"The biggest hardship that I am faced with is maintaining a family.
Treatment, feeding and all other basic needs have to be provided and yet there is no income generating activity in which to raise money.
Life is just a struggle. "

"Lack of a reliable source of income is my biggest hardship. I grow crops with intention to eat and well some for solving other family problems. I do it on a small scale which can not support because I do not have enough land to cultivate what could be enough. "

"The biggest hardship I am facing is low food production in my house. This is because I cultivate in a small piece of land but if I had my own bulls, I would cultivate on something bigger to boost food production."

"After my husband died back in 2007, I had to move back home and start a fresh due to wrangles with my in-laws. I struggled doing odd jobs such as ferrying materials at construction sites just to earn a living. With a minimal and an unreliable pay of 4 dollars a day, I have to feed, educate my children and ensure they have a decent roof over their heads. Sadly, one of my children had to drop out of school and now works to help out with the family expenses. It is my wish to educate my children upto college level but lack of finances to accomplish this is my biggest hardship."
