What does receiving this money mean to you?
"Building house with palm thatches have been my worried always. Those thatches contain thorns and it's a serious problem in plating them for roofing. For this reason I plan to build a zinc house when I receive my cash transfer for my family."

"I am happy for months now because my husband fishing net have been catching fishes for me and my family. Whenever he brings those fishes, I normally sell some and keep some for eating. These days I always wait for him patiently and anxiously to seeing he coming for more fishes and sure God has been answering my prayers."

"My major challenge is finance. My husband is a farmer and the farm make can't carry us for years. We can't sell some because the farm is not big enough to sell some of it products. So it is from hand to mouth. At times we have to eat foods without buying oil or other materials for my family."
