"Our health condition is the biggest challenge we are currently facing.Both of us have old age diseases that have paralyzed our muscles, although my wife does not sit in a wheelchair she can barely walk not work because of joint pains.As a result we have sold out all our livestock to pay for our medications and also to acquire my wheel chair. Our children are also in financial crisis because of our health conditions. Both of us do not engage in any activity at the moment because our age and health do not allow us to do so."

"I am a small-scale farmer engaging in crop and livestock production. My ambition is to be a renowned large-scale dairy farmer. Feeding my livestock is time-consuming and energy-draining because I cut nappier grass manually.Receiving this money will enable me buy a chaff cutter .This will maker my work easier as well as allow feeding of livestock with enough feeds.These cows will therefore give more yields due to adequate and timely feeds .I will use KES 50000 to buy a chaff cutter ."
