"Am very thankful for the program. I have been struggling to maintain my house because it was caught by fire."

"I have a family of five with no dairy cattle to supplement dairy products to them. Therefore, receiving this money means that I will be able to buy one dairy cattle that goes for 300USD to provide milk to my family and as a result put to an end regular purchase of milk. I will also use 100USD to build a house for my two grown up male boys to sleep and study. In this case, they will have their privacy and ours preserved. For the remainder of the transfer, I intend to use it to start poultry farming as an employment opportunity. I will built a poultry unit, buy fifty chicken and their feeds. This will not only render me as self employed but also provide me with a regular flow of income through the sale of poultry products."

"Receiving this money means that I will be able to increase the size of my house and also buy two dairy cattle. Currently, I reside in a small house that is less spacious together with my kids. I intend to use 300USD to extend one room on either side of my house of which one will be study room plus bedroom for my kids and the other one sitting room for all of us. This will ensure that there is privacy amongst all of us and also an ample space for the kids to study and sleep. Additionally, I will use 400USD to purchase two exotic dairy cattle to supplement my family with milk and the surplus sell to the nearby shopping center. This will ensure I have a regular source of income to sustain my family. The remaining balance from the transfer will be to buy household furnitures."

"The biggest hardship is that i struggle to find food and i don't have a house I'm literally living in a mosque block as you can see my house was destroyed by heavy rains and thats 2 years ago and since then up to now i have been living in a block."

""Lack of reliable source of income has become my biggest hardship in life. I am a charcoal vendor and this job is tiresome and earns me 300 shillings per one sack. It takes a week for sack to be ready for sale. This money is not enough to cater for all my basic needs e.g food.""

"Am very excited that I have been enrolled in the project because I have been suffering to find basic needs."

"Lack of food."

"Receiving this money will help me add more livestock to the little I have. I will buy one dairy cow and 5 goats. The cow will cost me 200 USD while the goats will cost me around 150 USD. Livestock farming has recently proved to be better than crop farming in terms of income generation."

"Imagine at the age of 70 yrs, I am still forced to do a laborious job like weeding in order to feed my family. This job requires a lot of stamina and it has make my body weak day by day. Therefore, I consider Inadequate finances to support my family need like proper shelter and food as my been my biggest hardship."

"Lack of a reliable source of income has been my biggest hardship. Despite having a certificate in community development and experience in driving, I have not secured a job. This has forced me to do casual labor of selling sand in a quarry. This job earns me utmost 20 dollars per month which is hardly enough to cater my family needs like food and good shelter."
