"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."

"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"
