"Financial constraint is my biggest hardship due the lack of a stable source of income. I depend on subsistence farming to provide food for my family, but is not enough due to poor rainfall and unproductive land. In order to make ends meet, my husband works as a fisherman in the nearest Nzovuni River. He makes around 300 shillings in a good day but it not consistent due to climatic changes. In this regard, it is very difficult to finance my children's educational, clothing, shelter and medical needs. "
