"My house is very small such that I don't sleep comfortably."

"The recipient is so happy and all in smiles"

"The recipient now will be able to own good shelter and also has enough food"

"Buying ironsheet to improve the roof of my house is what receiving this money means to me, i would like to make this house to stand for more years to come so improving the roof and walls with cement will make it possible."

"This money will be used for building a modern house as the one I currently live in is small and grass thatched . I will also buy mattresses so that I sleep comfortably since I sleep on a mosquito net"

"I lack money for fertilizers since I do not have a job nor a stable source of earning money. This has been affecting my maize production every year leading to very frequent hunger times"

"I am so grateful for being considered in this program. With the money, I am planning to build a house. Buy mattresses and some bags of maize. I will also buy fertilizer in preparation of the next growing season."

"I can say that the challenge is our house. The house leaks during rainy season."

"I live with my brother and my nephew. Our parents passed on when I was 12 years old. We lived under the care of our relatives who were also struggling financially. My childhood has been tough. When I became of age(20 years) and completed my primary school studies, I had to shoulder the responsibility of taking care of my younger brother. My sister then passed on and left his son who is now my responsibility with the help of other relatives. With the financial struggles, I have gone through a lot of stress in my life. I am a motorcycle taxi rider and what I get is not enough to support all our needs. Growing up as an orphan and shouldering the responsibilities as the elder one is what has been my biggest hardship."

"The biggest hardship I face is food insecurity. The maize we harvest is not enough to last all year round."
