"The main hardship that I face is lack of money. My husband is the only one who works and the money that he earns is not enough to buy food for my family."

"The biggest hardship I face is not having enough money to take care of myself and my children. I depend on selling vegetables and run other small businesses depending on the season to make money. However, the money I make is never enough to take good care of my family."

"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."
