"Let me express my sincere gratitude to GD for this program. This means a lot to me. My life has been full of struggles. My husband run away in 2017 and that was the end of my marriage. I am struggling to support my family. I plan to renovate my house when I receive my transfer. The food that I have in storage is not enough because we didn't use fertilizer. I plan to buy some bags of fertilizer in readiness of the next growing season and some bags of maize so that I can supplement on the little I have."

Also I will buy two cows with $500 to help me earn money for the family through milk production. Food and clothing has been another struggle therefore I will also budget the remaining $100 to food"
