"One of the biggest challenge I have faced is to make enough money to buy food for my family, since my husband left 11 years ago I had to be the one to provide for my family, I own I small piece of land which I farm maize and it doesn't last long to feed my entire. I buy fresh maize cook it and sells it at the market to help me raise money to feed my family"

"I have a huge family and I earn less than $5 per month through casual labour and this is not enough to feed and provide for my household"

"Being crippled comes with alot of challenges since I cannot work or do some things that a normal person without disability can do. Because of my disability I have difficulties in finding food or money for food and fertilizers since I cannot do casual labour because of my situation"

"Receiving this money has made Me so happy. I have never been in a position where i receive something so huge in my life. As a person who relies on casual labour I struggle to find money to keep my ends meet. I have always dreamed of having a better and bigger house. My house only has one room and it is a big problem for our family to sleep. This money is an opportunity for me to build a new house with iron sheets."

"Being an old woman I struggle alot to find food since in my state I cannot manage to do casual labour with an aim of getting some money for sustaining my daily livelihood."

"I lack of money for fertilizers for my maize garden which affects my yields resulting in constant hunger on my household"

"I have so much expectations from receiving this money as I believe it will help me buy some fertilizers for the next growing season so that I harvest enough food during the next growing season so that I do not have to starve"

"I struggle alot to find food since I don't have a stable source of income and mainly rely on casual labour which does not even fetch enough money to allow me feed and provide for my household"

"I was so happy when I received it because I didn't expect"

"I have started a business with that money, bought sand for plastering and cementing my house"
