"The biggest hardship I face in my life is lack of food security. This is because over the years we have been ploughing our farm manually and this translates to a small portion of the land being prepared for planting crops. We only manage to get 2 bags of maize which cannot sustain us to the end of the year. "

"My aspiration has been to own cows so that my family is relieved of the burden of buying milk. Milk in our place is sold expensively (Ksh 40 per litre) and is becoming unaffordable for my household since we use about 3 litres on a daily basis.Therefore receiving this money from GD means I will have the means to afford two dairy cattle which will go along way in providing milk for my household and as well as acting as a source of income for us (Proceeds obtained from the sale of milk)."

"My greatest ambition has been to practise dairy farming.There is a high demand for milk in my county headquarter which lack of money,to buy dairy cattle,has been hindering me from taking advantage. Receiving this money will mean that I'll be able to buy some dairy cattle.The proceeds from the sale of dairy products will help me in paying my children's school fees and in construction of a decent house for my family."

"At my age, I find it extremely difficult to plough my farm manually, it is exhausting and time consuming. I also can not cover a large area which means less harvest. Receiving this money means buying oxen and an ox plough that will help me in farming so that I can increase my yield. It will also save my energy and time which I can use in doing other activities that can generate income for me. Secondly, I will buy two dairy cows so that I can supply milk in Bamba and Mariakani markets to enable me earn extra income. "

"In the next six months, I'm planning to start a poultry keeping project. This will, in the long run, enable me to meet other household needs like food and to pay school fees for my children."

"My top concern is poverty, poverty usually leads to low self-esteem, one always feels alienated when they are round people, this lead to depression where it lead to bad choices such as stealing from others, using heavy drugs like bhang and these that lead to death in future."

"In the next six months, I expect to have built a better house and my family will be happy to live in a good house. I also expect to have started a poultry keeping project to earn an income from the sale of eggs which will enable me to meet other additional households needs."

"I wake up in the morning, take a shower and later have my breakfast. Before I leave for work I pray with my family. In the evening I go back home, take my supper, pray with my family then rest. In my free time I relax at home as I listen to music."

"I prioritize like that because first I would like to start my own business of buying and selling clothes so that I can have a stable income to support myself and my family. Secondly, I will use it to buy household items and shopping for my children for Christmas. Lastly, I will also help my husband with house rent because sometimes it's a challenge and fail to get rent and it makes landlord to come and disturb our peace. "

"My ambition in life is to have my own home with a God fearing family. I want to be a father who can provide to his children and wife and also give them all good education than what I have. I want to have a stable business with good income so that I can give my family the life they deserve and not be beggars in life. "
