"Food insecurity is my biggest hardship. We receive long rains between April and May every year. During this time every household is working hard on their farms to have enough food produce. This is not my case since I am using the old method of farming which gives me a low harvest of 3 sucks that takes us two months. The remaining part of the year I am struggling in order to get enough food for the family of 12 members."

"I have been aspiring to start a business for close to 5 years now. I like business because it comes with financial independence. It also guarantees daily profits, unlike other ventures that dictate that you wait for a certain number of days to get paid. I specifically want to start a mobile money business and I plan to inject a whopping 100000 shillings into the same. Out of this investment, I will make a profit of not less than 20000 shillings each and every month. This will sufficiently cater for my family's expenses also have enough to save for a rainy day."

"A decent shelter for myself is what receiving this money means to me. After the death of my husband, the house he left for me collapsed 2 years ago since then I have been not been able to construct a house for myself. I was forced to seek accommodation for my neighbors. I am planning to spend $ 250 dollars to build a two-roomed house and to purchase beddings. This will restore the happiness I lost for a long time. The remaining amount will assist me in purchasing oxen and ox-plow to help me in the preparation of my farm."
