We truly appreciate all who have made entry in the soon to be concluded week 3 and to all who are yet to make their entries.

Families matter to us and what they go through when the economy is harsh is what we want to talk about. Recently, families are under stress due to high cost of living and low income and this really affects the family budget and also affect how kids and other members of the family are cared for.

In this week's contest, we will like you to talk about the effects of economic hardships on families. The topic is

The effects of economic hardships on families

Feel free to tell us what you and your family has gone through due to the hardships occasioned by the current economic situations in your country and how the family earnings are no longer covering the family budgets or expenses. What have you done to help or how are you all coping with it? What adjustments have you and your family made to be able to cope?

We hope that we can learn a lot from you all and thus be able to cope.
