"The arrival of COVID-19 presented the biggest hardship and suffering of my life. I was feeling like the world is no longer habitable. We went without food and other necessities. It was the most difficult moment of my life."

"Receiving this money means good health for my family and i. My husband has been sick for the past 4 years he hardly does any chores. I am the one who goes out to farm or do some casual labour for us to eat. Getting this money will maje a huge difference as due to our health state we need good food and medical care. Our house roof blew up last month and thats another issue we would want to use our money for. These funds will surely change our lives."

"My family and i are so grateful to receive this money. I an so excited knoeing we are finally going to finish up our house. Buy cement and pluster it, buy food and also buy matress and blankets for a descent sleeping place."

"Due to ageness we face a lot of chronic illness which hinders us in finding our basic needs. Sometimes we even got tired from begging"

"As i mentioned i mostly do not have money to buy fertilizer and other farming inputs. This hardship brings about hunger in my home and also less harvest which leads to lack of money as i sell some of my produce"

"I bought 26 iron sheets and food items as soon as I received the funds"

"Receiving this money means I will be able to build a better house that does not leak like the one I have now. I will also buy fertilizers for my garden; buy enough food for my household"

"I have always wanted to start a business of selling clothes but lacked the capacity to do so. But with this money I intend to invest in that dream so that I can continuously support my familly"

"I was living in a house that was very small and could not accommodate my young children. My dream was to construct a new spacious house to live comfortably with my family. My children were always seeking shelter from the neighbourhood and they are still very young. I was not at peace with this. When I received the transfer, I bought building materials which include iron sheets, nails and building poles to facilitate the construction of the new house. Building a spacious makes it to be the biggest difference in my daily life since my children will no longer be seeking shelter from neighbours at night."

"Receiving this money means I will be able to buy enough for my household as we are currently starving as we did not harvest yields last growing season. I also plan on renovating my house as it leaks"
