"Receiving this money will enable me to finish up constructing my halfway-built house. My goal was to shift to the new house by the end of the year, but my son who was financing the construction diverted his financial support to his younger brother's hospital bills. I will therefore use $900 of my transfer to actualize this goal."

"The transfer means a lot to me. I am planning to build a bigger house using the money because my current house is very small.
I also struggle a lot to buy farm inputs and I intend to buy fertilizer, hoes and seedlings. I also plan to buy enough food because currently, I don't have enough food."

"The biggest hardship is famine and luck of food for my children. Last year my husband never got any casual jobs during the covid -19 time and we went to bed hungry many days. It took us more than 3 months without food in the house living from hand to mouth."

"My biggest hardship is financial constraints. I did not get to continue with my education after fourth form and so I could not get a good job. My husband's job cannot sustain us and so getting to educate and feed my children is overwhelming."
