"The main challenge now is food. I don't have enough food and I spend most of my time thinking how the year will be without enough food. Fertilizer access is also a challenge. We lack money to buy fertilizer."

Dama
received a $507 initial payment.
"The biggest difference in my daily life is that through the transfers I am now sleeping on decent beddings. For years, I have been using old mats which had worn out and it was never comfortable. I was always complaining of painful back pains and regular sleepless nights which was so stressful. However, since I only depended on casual jobs with low wages and still have some other basic needs to cater for, the income could barely solve all my family needs. Therefore after receiving the cash transfer I had to prioritize the beddings. I am now a happy soul because I sleep peacefully with no more back pains like before. I will forever be thankful to the organization for making me achieving this."
