Kauchi enrolled.
"I used to sell sisal fibre in the past but I stopped due to poor health. Currently I depend on subsistence farming which is also unreliable due to poor rainfall patterns and unproductive land. This means that meeting basic needs for the family is such a big challenge and sometimes we even go without food. My husband who could be of help is too weak to work due to old age thus reducing me to the sole breadwinner. I can therefore say financial instability is my biggest hardship."
