"The challenge I am currently facing is that I have to work hard to put food on the table and also look for capital to start up a business because my husband is blind for now 5 years. This happened when he was diagnosed with high blood pressure and at the same time with diabetes disease. Before the incidence happen, he was a very hardworking herdsman with 4 cows. And he was able to sell off one cow and bought a piece of land where we are right now. I feel the burden of buying food , taking care of him that sometimes I am forced to lock him all alone in the house since there's no one to take care of him except me while I am away trying to raise some money for food and medication ."

"The challenge I am facing is the current hot season that we experience from the month of January to April every year, which has caused drought in my village Silayi in Butoto subcounty leading to hunger. It is challenging to because at my age I am forced to look for some casual work like digging in the neighbors so I am able to put some food on the table. Then also during the rainy season our area gets surrounded by water flowing from the the top making the ground in the house soggy making us live in fear thinking any time I and my family may be washed away by land slides."
