"We should appreciate that agriculture is the back bone of our economy, and we do depend on it for our days to day life. The climatic changes have proofed otherwise for there have been adverse cases of drought and hunger in our lands.Despite cultivating the farm well, I have have been unable to harvest making food insecurity my biggest hardship.For instance,at the moment ,I have maize at the farm but it's unproductive because of the harsh climate and diseases."

"I intend to use this money for constructing a modern house as the one I currently live in is grass thatched and badly leaks during heavy rains. I believe the money from this program will help me fulfil the dream of living in an iron sheet roofed house."

"She used the cash to improve the roof of her house by buying iron sheets and cement..She also purchased fertilizer and some beddings as well as clothes"

"Lack of money has forced me and my family to live in very poor shelter. Receiving this money means that I can now build a decent house which is comfortable for my children. My plan is to build a two roomed house with an iron sheet roof at a cost of 250 USD. My current house is in a bad condition. I fear for my children's health especially during the rainy season. The leaking roof and the cold weather poses a huge health risk."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is that I managed to construct a very decent, spacious modern house through the transfer. Initially, I used to stay in a small traditional house with weak walls and an old roof. It had even collapsed some weeks before I was enrolled. During that period I had to seek shelter from my friends and I even had to shift all my belonging. As a result, most of them got damaged and stolen as well. Also, the stay in my friend's houses was not that good at all because I was like a burden to them. The coming of GD into my life still feels like a miracle to me because it came at the time that I needed help the most. I am glad now I am sheltering under my own house with all my family members. We no longer have to worry about the rains and the insecurity issues like before."

"As old as i am i need to have a good place to sleep but you can see i use this old mosquito net as my mat so firstly i will buy matress, blankets and bedsheets for my self so that i should sleep on a good place, also i will buy ironsheets for my house nowadays its very hard for me to go cut grass for my roof, so i cannot just depend on someone to do for me so this money will be helpful as i will buy ironsheets and other things to improve my house and lastly i will buy enough food for my self and grandchildren so that we should be on a safer side when dry spell alives."

"I have always wanted to have an iron sheet roofed house but I have always been constrained by finances resulting in my household residing in a small grass thatched house"

"I want to buy roofing materials"

"I bought cement and timbers for roofing"

"Receiving this money will help me build a way much better house as the one I currently live in is old and grass thatched. I would want to put up an iron sheet roofed house. I would also want to buy enough food as well as fertilizers for the next growing season."
