"Inadequate food for the household is my main challenge. We do not have oxen to enable timely planting and enough food production for the family. Besides, we do not have enough land for crop cultivation hence insufficient food for the household. "

"When I receive this money, I will buy a plot of land where we shall build a house and relocate because where we are currently is not good for settlement. We shall reserve this land for agriculture because the soils are fertile and this will also boost our household income in a way that; we shall sell the yields from agriculture."

"Receiving this money means improving on my living conditions in form of buying bedding, oxen for ploughing and paying school fees for my children. The beddibgs will help improve on the living conditions, oxen will help on plouging Dr crop cultivation and when my children complete studies, that will find better jobs for them to support themselves."

"Receiving this money means completing consttuction of my permanent house. I sleep in a grass thatched house that i infested with rats and has holes in it. That will reduce the burden of renovating houses every year which is quite costly."

"Paying school fees is my biggest hardship. I have a child studying in primary four and I am not able to meet the needs and requirments of the school and my child. That leaves me limping due to inability to pay and my child does not study well in order to compete favourably with the rest of the children. "

"I expect my life to change in the next six months in that I would have saved enough in the group to buy a dairy cow and reduce the cost of buying milk which is so costly for me, I would use the money to meet other additional household needs and also pay school fees for my children."

"Finances "

"I Planted a lot of crops on a two-acre piece of land, something that has never happened in my life. I only used to plant the crops in very small pieces of land which eventually yielded very little. Secondly, I bought cows which I would have never bought were it not for the cash transfers."

"Before I got the cash transfers from GD, I used to entirely rely on the odd jobs that are offered within the village with very insignificant pay at the end of each day. However, things are quite different today because I went and did a course in masonry and graduated with a diploma in the same so today I get jobs under official contracts which makes my work-flow and cash-flow quite consistent."

"I expect my life to change in that I shall have diversified my farming by engaging in goat keeping. Farming has always come in handy to help us as a family whenever we have any arising needs that needs financial assistance."
