"I have really put my mind in ensuring I grow my savings. My hope is that before the year ends I will have enough in my savings to buy a number of goats, and chicken. I believe this project should have a permanent effect in aiding my life. If I use all my transfers and have nothing to show for it at the tail end of everything then it will not have had that impact. I believe animals are the best way to make an investment you can feed them and in turn they reproduce and multiply. I can always use these animals as an emergency fund to sort out future hiccups when they arise."

"My wife passed on 3 years ago but I am yet to come to terms with her demise. My life completely changed for the worse and now I am left alone to fend for our children. It has never been easy, in my old age now I needed her company the most. I can only relive truly fond memories we had. I have kept her framed photo in my bedroom so that I can be seeing and it gives me solace whenever I feel lonely. Thoughts about her are still fresh in my mind. She left a huge gap in my life. I have not been able to adjust to the new way of life and it worries me a lot."

"I have been afflicted with a hard life of unending and painful suffering of misery and destitution. I struggle to make a living here, I am lonely. My wife left me and went back to her parents because of the state of poverty that I was in, I could not provide for her and our two children and I had not paid the dowry. Putting food on the table is a tall order for me I have to look for casual jobs to earn wages so that I can buy food. Sometimes when I fail to get the job it means I go to bed hungry since I live from hand to mouth."
