"I spent the larger part of my second transfer on buying 20 water pipes and now I no longer hire water pipes to sprinkle water on my farm.I bought 30 pieces of iron sheets since I am planning to build a spacious three roomed house as the place I am staying at the moment is a water logged ground thus I experiences dampness in this house making my health and my family's to be at stake.I also paid school fees for my child who is in high school and bought one and half bags of maize."

"I spent my second transfer on constructing a borehole at my home so that I can get clean water for domestic purpose easily.

"

"With the water hyacinth at the lake increasing daily, disabling vicinity and reducing the number of fish in the water, most of the time am always coming back home empty handed hence and my family is forced to go hungry most days"

"The biggest hardship that I have in my life is how to get money to buy food, pay school fees, pay rent and buy water."
