"My biggest hardship i have faced in my life is finding enough food for my family. I usually have food which do not last me for a long time. The main reason for this is lack of money to buy fertilizer. A single bag of fertilizer costs more than K20000 and this is a lot of money which i can not find easily. I also want to use the money to buy 4 bags of fertilizer and this will help me have enough food next year"

Furaha received a $485 second payment.
"My life is different than it would have been if I never received the transfer in that I am living in a spacious house with my family after constructing a new one with my transfers. Previously, I was living in a small, grass-thatched house that leaks a lot, I was always praying never to receive guest because of the poor condition of my house. Furthermore, I was able to purchase proper clothing for every family member, Back in the days, we use to wear old and worn out clothes something that lowered my self-esteem since I always felt uneasy whenever I am in a group of people."
