"My plan is to use the money to buy enough fertilizers for the next growing season so that I harvest enough maize for food as well as for sale"

"I am a widow. Since my husband passed away ,I have been lonely and life changed significantly. Life was good and better when my husband was alive. Raising the family singly was not easy."

"The big problem we have faced is food insecurity. Since the maize lethal necrosis disease affected our crops we have not been able to harvest enough maize for our subsistence. We have been buying maize since then to meet our demands for the household."

"Using this money I will be able to build a nice modern house as I currently live in a grass thatched house which was built from grasses as well. I will also buy enough food and fertilizers so that I do not have to starve and also to prepare for next year's growing season"

"For me to find enough money to buy fertilizers is a very difficult thing since I am not working and do not have a stable source of earning money. This in turn affects my maize production"

"If I get to receive this transfer from GD, I intend to use it for purchasing enough fertilizers for the next growing season so that I harvest enough food and I do not have to starve again."

"This money will be helpful to us as a family to build a proper house. Over the years we have tried to build one but we couldn't because of money."

"I mostly struggle to find money to buy food and also my house is small looking at my family and this money is an opportunity for me to build a bigger house"

"Where i live is a semi-arid area it hardly rains and even if it does we do not harvest enough maize that can last for a year. This has been a great challenge as we are forced to buy majority of the food stuff which is costly because i do not have a stable source of income."

"It would mean financial freedom for me. From 2014 until 2019 i owned a small business,unfortunately i closed down for lack of enough re-current capital to sustain the business. I do manual jobs that earn me little money that is only enough to buy food for my children. I plan on re-opening the business of buying and re-selling maize because there is demand for foodstuff in this area. I will start with 20 bags of maize at ksh 60,000 and resell it at a cost of 90,000. This will enable me to earn an average of ksh 15000 per month which is enough to cater for our basic needs(food,clothing and education ) for my children. The other monies i will use to buy one dairy cow of ksh 30,000 and build a cow-shed with the other monies."
