"In the next six months, I will have invested in large scale farming. I have never done this before so I believe my life will change greatly if all goes well.

It will be a dream come true."

" Financial constraint is the biggest hardship that I face in life. Ever since I settled down and started my family, I have been struggling to make ends meet through doing all sorts of odd jobs but to no avail. I even moved my family from Mombasa where we used to live and relocated all of us back to the village thinking that life would be a bit easier back home but I still find myself struggling to provide food everyday for my children and even pay their fees consistently. Farming that used to save the situation has also been affected by lack of rains thus making our situation to be so deplorable. It really pains me as a parent to see my children not living the kind of life that I had always wanted for them simply because I do not have a stable job to earn me good income. "

"I expect my life to change in the next six months in that I shall have saved money and use it to start a cereal business to make an extra income. I believe from the extra income I will have ease in paying school fees for my children hence they will no longer stay home for a long period of time due to school arrears and also their performance in school will be good."

"The biggest hardship I face is lack of food to eat. This makes me some times sleep with a single meal a day."

"The biggest hardship I face is lack of enough money for buying animals especially oxen. The oxen will be helping me in cultivation purposes. "

"Receiving this money means that I will be able to retrive the piece of land that I leased, take care of my children's scholastic needs and buy some livestock if there is any balance."
