"Initially I had a booming livestock-buying and selling businesss where I would buy more than 10 cows and sell them all in the next market day. I had hired two people who were always driving them to the livestock auctioning market as I ride behind them on a motorcycle. The business was so great with an amazing profit margin but it never last any longer. Struggles to keep it going were all in vain which brought alot of worry to my family members who were always looking up to me for food, school fees, clothing, just to mention but a few. Providing for the family currently has really been hard which is my biggest worry."

"The biggest hardship that I have faced is lack of enough food. It is very difficult for me to get food because I rely on farming as the only source of income. Low and unpredictable rainfall patterns renders me a poor person as my crop fails in every season. I am now living on hand to mouth basis, always working to get only food. I have never had enough for myself and the family and this has made my life a never ceasing struggle."

"I plan to spend my transfer on buying two cows for paying my dowry. I have been working hard to make my marriage formal and now with this money my dream has come true. I do feel bad when my parents ask about my dowry. According to our custom you only become a wife when your husband has paid dowry. "
