"I have been failing to find fertilizer year in year out and this hit me hard because income generations is limited without fertilizer."

"The biggest hardship I've experienced in my life is not having enough food to feed my family"

"The biggest hardship I've faced in my life is not having enough food to feed my family because I can't find work. Alot of us village dwellers depend on small jobs to make a living and it isn't very reliable because the jobs are most seasonal"

"Receiving this money means self-independence to me. I am a single mother living with my four children in my father's compound. I have always wished to settle down in my land, hence $600 of my transfer will make me actualize this dream. I will then use $300 to buy a cow whose income from selling milk daily will supplement my daily wages from casual jobs."

"I haven't met any hardships"

"We live in an area which is far from the main trading centre and travelling by bicycle is a problem. This makes it hard for us to access some services such as medical care, receiving of coupons or relief items, schools for our children as well as food and whenever we need to buy something. Hence, lack of transportation hinders us greatly to access some things on time."

"As a young man with a family, the only way for us to have money is to do farming pieceworks. Since the harvesting season is coming to an end, it means there is little one can do to make money in this village. This has always led to periods of hunger in my household as everything needs money most of the time."

"Despite having a better looking house than other people, I do not have household items such as proper pots,buckets,chairs and tables. This money will help me to afford these things and also get the house painted as it is in bad shape. Since sleeping on a comfortable sleeping place is also important for anyone's health, we shall purchase a good bed and mattress for the children too."

"Hunger"

"Finding enough food has been hard."
