"The biggest hardship that I face is lack of food. Since I do not work, it is very difficult for me to buy food. I depend on my children to help me and give me some food. Sometimes I only have a single meal in a day."

"This money will help me a lot because I will be able to buy a matress so that I can have a good place to sleep. I will also use some of this money to buy bags of maize for food. Most importantly I will use the money to build a house."

"The main hardship that I face is lack of money. My husband is the only one who works and the money that he earns is not enough to buy food for my family."

"I am glad to be enrolled in the project. As you can see, the floor of my house is made of sand and it does not have durable window frames. I plan to use the money to buy bags of cement which I will use to make a new floor. I will also buy window frames. On top of that, I will buy maize because I don't have enough maize to last till the next harvesting season. I will also invest the money in farming during the coming farming season. Lastly, I will buy a matress because I need to be sleeping on a comfortable place."

"My biggest hardship i have faced in my life is finding enough food for my family. I usually have food which do not last me for a long time. The main reason for this is lack of money to buy fertilizer. A single bag of fertilizer costs more than K20000 and this is a lot of money which i can not find easily. I also want to use the money to buy 4 bags of fertilizer and this will help me have enough food next year"
