"Not having enough money to buy food for her entire household"

"I have always had problems in accessing food since I am an old woman who cannot work like before. As a result I am always starving and struggling to feed my children and grandchildren."

"Iam happy for having been considered in this program. It will save me from starvation because I do not have food to take me through this period to the next harvesting season. I will among other things buy bags of maize, fertilizer etc."

"I will use the money to buy a mattress since I sleep on a bare floor. I will also buy enough food since I am not food secure."

"Honestly, I lack money to buy food and other basic needs for my family. Year in and out, I face hunger because my small scale business does not support me enough for the whole year. With convid-19 also, it is no longer giving me profits as it used to."

"My biggest hardship would be that of food. It is hard to find or have enough food through out the year."

"My biggest hardship is lack of enough money to buy fertilizer and other farm inputs. I have the desire and the garden to cultivate but I do not have money to purchase farm inputs."

"This is more than good news to me as receiving this money means I will be able to buy fertilizers for my garden so that I harvest more and have enough food. I will also buy some clothes for my family"

"We are so excited to receive this money and this whole thing really means alot to us."

"The biggest hardship is a proper way to find food for my family as you know I got separated from my husband and to be honest my business is not that stable I'm just waiting for the transfer to come so that I should use part of the money to boost the business."
