"Money problems. If my husband and I don't look for casual work then we won't have food in the house to the point of sleeping on empty stomachs. Our house is small and not enough for the 4 us. Means of finding money are hard to find here in the village since most of these things are seasonal."

"My biggest challenge is poverty. I'm living in my son's house because mine fell and he moved to his wife's village so that I could live in his house. I have no mattress and beddings which I would like to have one day. I am old but I still have to go out to find money for food. I rely on casual labour."

"Currently our only challenge as a household is poor housing. As you can see this house is grass thatched. Having to thatch it year in year out is costly for us and energy draining for us. We wish we lived in an iron sheet roofed house with cemented floor in all 3 rooms but are unable to achieve that due to lack of money."

"My only challenge at present is lack of housing. My initial house collapsed in January due to heavy rains so I have had to move into this boysquarter for shelter. This doesn't bring me the comfort I need and the fact that I don't have the financial capacity to build a new and better house stresses me even more."
