Janeth
received a $22 eighth payment.
"I expect to plant maize that will be enough for us for consumption and sale so as to cater for school fee for my children. It is such a disgrace and pain for anybody's children to stay home for lack of fee and even lack of clothing. People normally taunt us especially single mothers. I plan to work hard in farming to ensure the disgrace does not befall me and my children. I encounter bad-mouthing often and I dislike it. I plan to work harder and silence the mockers."

Elijah
enrolled.
"I lost my dear wife to Ulcers back in 2012. This was the greatest challenge for me because I became stressed since I no longer had a partner. My children were still in school at the time and I was therefore forced to leave my small business (buying and selling cows) so that I could educate them and also take care of the family. "
