"One of my sons is graduating from the 12th Grade class this year. I really want him to be happy because he will be making me a proud father. Now, my biggest challenge is to get money for his graduation program and the only way I can get money is through doing so many hard work like burning coal and making corn farm at the same time."

"Due to my current condition as a pregnant woman, I find it very difficult to get to the nearest clinic. especially when I have to cross the Manzen creek in this rainy season where there is no good bridge."

"My plan is to help pay my son school fees and also to the eye clinic treatment."

""things are very difficult now a day. We are barely surviving just one day at a time. We have burn charcoal to help us with the farming. And infact, sometime after producing the coal we barely get buyers. And sometimes the buyers credit the coal from us and that happens we find it very difficult to get our money from them. So life is just difficult"."

""I the grace of Almighty Allah, when I receive the cash transfer, I plan to do business and also pay my children school fees."

"I struggle to find money to buy food in my home."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is the joy of seeing the great farm projects rolling after obtaining a generator and pipes. Even though I am still setting the irrigation system up, I am glad that I will soon be running all-season farming as at the borderline of my piece of land is a permanent river that the whole community had been dependent on even on the dry seasons. I am hopeful that I will soon match the neighboring villages in food production and access to the ready market to earn some income that will in turn be settling other household bills."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is the currently flourishing livestock project that I established. Looking at the ongoing construction of a spacious, secure, and strong poultry coop that will soon be ushering in some chicks and the five sheep I bought brings not only joy but also pushing me to work harder in ensuring that I achieve the desired outcome. I am grateful to have been one of the recipients as this chance came when I really needed to fix a lot in my family."

"Receiving this money means better sleep , I will finally be able to afford a mattress and the transfer will also help me finalize finishing up my house"

"The biggest challenge we have encountered in our household has been accessibility of food. It has been hard for us to afford food"
