"To help us improve our livelihood"

"losing my children due to sickness"

"My greatest desire has been to change my livelihood to a better standard in terms of a good house and nice beddings, but this wish has never come through due to the financial challenges that I am facing. Receiving this money means a dream fulfilled since I plan to spend $300 to construct the house and $150 to buy the beddings. This will assure me of a better life since my life as of now is so miserable because my house is small and at the same time, I spend my nights on the floor using rugged sacks."

"Poverty is the biggest hardship as i barely afford food."

"Hunger"

"I always struggle to find food and provide for my three children."

"I primarily depend on my husband who is a casual laborer for my family's basic needs. Before the COVID 19 pandemic came in, he was able to meet our household daily basic needs because he was employed as a teacher at a local primary school.The biggest hardship I have ever faced in my life is the lack of resources to meet my household needs. My husband's teaching job ended after the pandemic struck us forcing us to depend on hard charcoal business that hardly raises enough income to meet my family needs mainly food and a proper roof over our heads."

"This is a huge relief as I did not harvest enough maize for food and this money will enable me to buy food, clothes and iron sheets for my house"

"I will use the money to buy new iron sheets, food and clothes for my family"

"This will be a huge relief as I will use the money to build a better house for my household. I will also use the money to buy food"
