"Finding food for me and me, my son and my three grandchildren is a serious challenge for me. The little business I'm doing is where we take money from for food and Cater for ourselves. My son is currently jobless so I had to take my three grandchildren to live with me until he can find himself a job. Our means of survival is on the little business I'm doing."

"I was so happy about it" (Occupation: Small business)

"In the past I couldn't grow my business but now I have made a top up to it and I have food as well and my house is looking great"

"I am very happy to be receiving this money because it will help us start a business for sustainance, so that we no longer have to rely on casual work and piece work to find money. This will also enable us to buy fertilizer in readiness for good harvest next year."

"When I receive the money, I'll will use it to build a house, currently I'm living in this shop and my children sleep at their grandmothers house because we all can't fit in this room. So I'd want to have a house big enough to have my children sleep there. I will also use this money to start a business so that I never have to worry about food and other basic needs."

"I sell fresh vegetables as a source of income. The money I get is not enough to support my family. Sometimes I go on an empty stomach together with my family." (Occupation: Small business)

"The program has come at the right time when am struggling with my business. The money will change my business because I will use it as capital for my business. I will also buy mattresses so that I may sleep comfortably." (Occupation: Small business)

"My life will change for the better when I receive my transfer. I do a small business but the money I get is not enough to sustain my family. Firstly, I will build a house and will use the money to buy iron sheets. I have been also desiring to start livestock production. I will buy goats. Part of the money will be used to top up my business. I am so grateful for the consideration." (Occupation: Small business)

"I willl be able to I boost my salon business and build a house. I have always had the talent in hairdressing but I haven't been able to a buy the needed materials, this money will help me be properly established now"

"This money means freedom to concentrate on farming than ever before. This is so as I usually fail to harvest enough food as most of the effort goes towards doing casual labour to earn an income. Since I am living alone at the time being,it means not much effort is left to focus on farming which leaves crops unattended. In the end, I usually harvest a little . My husband rarely sends money home ever since he went to South Africa. This leaves me with a huge responsibility to take care of the children. I engage in small business of selling vegetables which I order for MWK2000 (Malawi Kwacha) and sell for a profit of MWK1000. This is enough to use for at least five days when I have maize flour available. I believe the money will ease most of the problems I face. I will make sure I buy enough food for the children,pay school fees as well seek new opportunities of starting another good business. In this way, I will no longer be looking forward to my husband for assistance which rarely comes. I even believe he found another wife and has children now." (Occupation: Small business)
