"Lack of a stable source of income is what has been my biggest hardship. I used to depend on farming mainly, Recently farming has not been doing well due to long dry spells. My spouse is unemployed and he depends on motorcycle Rider jobs when called in, therefore our income is not enough to fully cater for our needs which include buying food and educating the children."

"My biggest hardship is unemployment, I temporarily work as a broker in a livestock market and this job is not always guaranteed. My family owns a small piece of land where we practice subsistence farming, the produce we get from the farm is not enough to sell and make extra income for the household, hence making it difficult to provide housing and clothing for my family."

"My family struggles in buying milk each day. We use about $1.5 on milk per month, my wife is a stay at home mum and quite old, so she can not support in working and bringing extra income to the household. That is why when I receive this transfer I will use most of it amounting to $1000 in purchasing 4 dairy cows.Milk produced will be for home consumption and we can sell the remaining milk to generate extra income. The remaining $100 will be used in buying farm seeds, clothes and food for the family."

"I have spent my transfers on buying construction materials because I am preparing to build a house. Also managed to buy fertilizer and food. Now all I have to do is actually start building the house thats what I am busy with at the moment."
