"I have been living in this hut for the past three months as my former house developed huge cracks after heavy rains which became life threatening. Hence we decided to fell the house and try to build another one. As a result of inadequate money, we only stopped at foundation level. The parents of these children are also poor despite living in town to seek pieceworks. This money has given us a huge opportunity to finish the house which I believe will better than the one we wanted to build. We shall also use some money to buy other utensils for keeping water and for cooking. Since some of these grandchildren are no longer in school due to lack of fees. The ones continuing will be assisted with notebooks and other necessities to make sure they continue school. The problems of food lacking will also lessen as we shall purchase bags of maize and keep some for the foreseeable future."

"My son got sick like misala (Madness) but now he is recover and this was a biggest hardship I faced because it was hard to look after him."

"Receiving this money to means finally being able to build a decent house, buy appropriate beddings for us to sleep comfortably."

"We struggle to get money to raise our children."

"We mostly struggle to find money to buy food. My husband owns a bicycle taxi and the money he makes is sometimes not enough to buy our basic needs"

"Mostly it's our house. During rainy season it leaks and it is not a good look"

"I am so happy to be receiving this money from GD. I will use this money to buy cement so that I complete my house."

"2hwh"

"Finishing my house and improving the roof with ironsheet and the walls with cement is what receiving this money means to, i would like the house to stand for more years to come so that my children should not suffer when iam gone and if possible some money remains i would like to buy beddings because where i and my family sleep is not a health place to spend the whole night"

"The biggest hardship I have faced in my life is not having enough food. This year things have been really hard for me. I only harvested 2 bags of maize so I had no hope until this program."
