"The achievement that am proudest of is when we had a huge maize harvest in our household that filled the stores. During that time we paid school fees for the school going children in the household comfortably and had enough food for the entire year."

"The biggest hardship we have faced is when there was a prolonged drought in our land and that meant that there was not enough yield from our farms. It also meant that we had to struggle a lot to get money to buy food. It was a big challenge to us"

"The biggest hardship that I have faced is being able to feed my family adequately. In the past year, farm produce was low meaning I couldn't sell hence the little that I got from the farm was used as food for my family. "

Elizabeth
received a $469 third payment.
"I had arrears of my daughter who is in secondary school, so when I received my third transfer, I spent part of the money on clearing the arrears. I am a sickler and I had to spare some amounts for my treatment. I am hopeful that I will get well. The remaining I spent on daily family needs for my household."
