"I mostly face difficulties in the way I get food. Despite having a farm we do not produce enough food the year as we do not have money to buy fertilizer"

"Mud houses are costly to maintain in that they often need mud coating when worn out. Being an 82 year old who stays with 2 school going grandchildren, I do not have time nor the energy to bend in order to smear mud on the house floor and walls. Receiving this money will be a huge relieve –my plan is to put up a semi permanent timber made house which is less to maintain and as well devoid of dust which has affected my lungs for long. The new house will cost about $400 including a cemented floor."
