"I currently run a small business in a nearby town-A mobile money agency and cooking gas retail shop.I put in all of my savings as capital but it was not really sufficient to buy enough stock.I was therefore forced to start with the little I could but I would wish to expand.Receiving this money will enable me to expand this business by buying more stock."

"Receiving this money means that I will invest in crop production. I will buy oxen and ox-plough to facilitate easy tilling of farm land. My household survives on very small quantity of crop produce each year and is not sustainable enough to cater for our needs. Once my household realises a enough and good produce , I will be selling Some to raise money for Educating my children. "

"Receiving this money means owning oxen that will enable me plough my farm land in time for easy crop cultivation. That will improve on yields and income at household level hence famine will be no more. I will also hire land in order to support my household improve on food security. I am a peasant farmer with little space for crop cultivation. Hiring land will be an empowerment to my household. "

"Receiving this money means that I will be able to buy land. I sold two acres of farm land to raise money for treating my spouse. This has limited the quantity and quality of crop produce realised in my household since I cultivate only one garden each year. My household members therefore are facing poverty as aresult. Iam failiing even to provide basic needs like proper feeding and health care due to high level poverty. Givedirectly transfers will enable me buy another land to cultivate and plant hence this may lead to increase in crop production. There will be enough food to sustain the needs of my family members."

"The biggest hardship that I face is I do not own oxen of my own that would facilitate early ploughing and planying of crops. I hire oxen which makes it costly in terms of farming and yet agricultural poduce faces elastic demand due to changes in seasons and output. This makes farming scary and challenging hence food shortage and low income."

"The biggest hardship that I am faced with is inadequacy of money to buy oxen that I feel would really support my household. I struggle to find some money that can enable me to hire oxen but this is very inconviniencing and unrewarding because in most cases, I get the service late meaning I cultivate late which affects the harvest in the end."

"The biggest hardship faced is feeding and educating the children, then also shortage of cultivation land for more food. "

"The biggest hardship faced is not having enough cultivation land due to debts incurred. Once I pay off the debts, more cultivation land will be available."

"Receiving this money means I will be able to buy a piece of land and oxen that will support in the cultivation activity. This will develope my family because food productivity will increase making life better. Paying school fees for my children in future will also be easier because I will have laid a basis for household income."

"Receiving this money means I will purchase two cows to act as an investment. When the cows produce, I can sell some in order to pay school fees for the children and pay bride price for some of them. I am currently using farming as my main source of income in order to raise income for the household. I will then build a varendar for my house such that rain water can not weaken it."
