""As you may know, we are into subsistence farming, in this year farming season, we all our crops to animal because my husband got seriously sick and there was nobody else to help us protect the farm, so now we heavily challenge with getting food for the family"."

"If I am qualified to receive this cash transfer, I will buy a motorcycle to use it for commercial purpose since I do not have any means of earning an income. I will also use the rest of the cash transfer to send my little daughter to school and start a business for my spouse."

"I was a mother of seven children and six died and last month (July) my husband died so I am just living here with my grand children and struggling to get food."

"I am currently renting in my in-laws house, if I am to be successful to receive the transfer I will try to build my own house and send my kid to school."

"It has always been my dream to own a house, but due to financial difficulty, I have not been able to achieve this dream. The tuition of my three children has also been a burden for me and my husband. Receiving this money means that my dream of owning a house will come true and also the tuition of my children will be paid in full."

"Food for sustenance, tuition fees for the children and additional cash to complete the house under construction. The house is incomplete and that if it's not completed, the rain could damage it. More besides, getting money for my children tuition fees is also challenging in that many days they are thrown out of class."

"I plan to establish a business and also complete my house."

"One of the major challenges facing me is the sickness of my daughter. We have been to several traditional healers but there's still no positive results. Her condition continue to deteriorate with every passing times."

"Some of the major challenges facing me and my family is that our house is leaking over our head and being a widow I'm unable to raise money to buy zinc. Secondly, the something people can blessed me with had been used towards children tuition fees and food. No one to make farm for me and I'm not young again to attract another partner who would help me and my children."

"Tbe main challenge here for me is money. Because since my spouse died, only my brother and myself taking care of them. And here the cassava I can sell to earn money and provide food and other thing price has dropped so badly. Like the way dry season coming it is the time to make garden. But no money to buy chemicals and fertiliser for that activities. So I am even worrying about how to get money for those thongs."
