"The biggest hardship that I face is that of food. I do not have a land to farm and as such I mainly depend on buying food for myself so money is hard to come by."

"I spent part of my first transfer on buying some buildng materials such as ironsheets, nails, and a few building poles. This was purposely for renovation of my house which was in poor state. I later bought a goat as the living assets that I can lean on incase of any financial difficulties. With the remaining amount of money I bought enough foodstuffs for my family."

"Receiving this money to me means that as a man I have something that will help support my family I depend on small causal labour duties which at times are hard to find leaving me with nothing to support my family."

"My biggest hardship is that of a house. My family is big and my house is too small with only one room and my children sleep in my kitchen"

"The program is of great importance to me. I have been really struggling to make things work at my house. As you can see, i am living in a very small house. The program will help me build a big house which can accommodate all of us.Nyumba, kugona movutika. I will also be able to buy kitchen utensils. The remaining amount will be used to buy food."

"I have recieved this program with gratitude. I will be able to buy mattress, new beddings and food. I will also construct a nice house with iron sheets."

"The funds will really help. I have bricks which are already burnt but i have been lacking money to build a house. The money will help me build a house. I will also buy iron sheets and cement. I want to have a nice house. I will also buy food. We been lacking food here for so long."

"I separated with my husband 12 years ago when I discovered that our marriage was not working. I got married when I was only 15 years old and we knew little about marriage. I decided to go back to my parents who welcomed me back but in the last year 2019 I decided to be independent. Since I don't have job, I have struggled to make ends meet. sometimes I don't afford a meal for my children and I don't have anybody to help. I thank God that GD transfers are here, I will use them to stock food that can last us for some months. The other thing I will do is to pay school fees for my child who is joining high school next year."

"My husband leaving me for the new wife after all these children just imagine I had nothing to look after my children since I was 100% just depending on him"
