"Receiving this money means I finally realize my desire to building a decent shelter for my family because since I got married 2 years ago we have never been able to construct a good house. Currently, we are staying in a small, temporary structure which leaks during rainy season. My plan is to used $ 350 in construct a modern, two-roomed irony roofed. I will invest the remaining amount on improving my farming by purchasing oxen and ox-plow to assist my in preparing my farm as well as hiring them out at a fee. This will be a reliable source of income for my family."

"Lack of a good source of income is my biggest challenge. I work as a charcoal vendor. This job is exhausting and earns me 350 in this amount is not enough to cater for all our needs such as food and shelter."

"My wife has been ailing and her age has advanced significantly. As such, she has been struggling to handle the usual household chores such as smearing our mud-walled house. So, I will utilize the transfers on plastering our house so that we have a more decent house and rid my wife of the tiresome smearing-tasks."
