"Receiving this money is a blessing beacuase i never expected to have this amount of money. This money will help me start a business"

"The death of my 2 children who died 4 years ago."

"I am so happy that I am going to receive this money. The first thing Will be to maintain my house and buy myself matress"

"I am grateful for being considered in this program. This is a great opportunity to me that I never expected. This is a lot of money. I am planning of constructing a house and buying some new beddings. Part of the money will be use to buy kitchen utensils."

"My house is very small and leaks during rainy season. I also don't have comfortable beddings."

"I am very happy to be enrolled in this program. I did not expect that I can be in this kind of program. Receiving this money means a lot to me. I will use this money to build a house as you can see my house is in a very bad state."

"The biggest hardship we have faced in our lives is not having enough food to eat because there are not any jobs or small jobs we can do so we make money to buy food for that day."

"Burning charcoal to cater for 8 people is such a challenge. This is because the job is not so productive due to its cumbersome nature. My husband is forced to camp in the forest for almost 3 months but the much he gets is around 5000 shillings. Financial constraint which is our biggest hardship has caused to suffer a great deal. It is one of the reasons why we cannot afford a decent life."

"I do not have a proper house which badly leaks during heavy rains as a result it becomes very difficult to live in it"

"Receiving this money will help me build a proper house as the one I currently live in is grass thatched and would want to put up an iron sheet roof. I would also want to purchase enough fertilizers for the next growing season so that I harvest enough maize for food"
