"I LOST 4 CHILDREN BEFORE THEY REACHED AGE 4"

"I struggle with my home. My roof always leaks and it gets too cold during the rainy season."

"I mostly struggle to find food and nutritious food in our home. We mostly eat vegetables as we can not afford meat and eggs"

"This money means that I will be able to fulfil my dream of having a grocery shop. I had a grocery shop but it did not grow because I used the money to meet my basic needs. I was planning on selling my farm produce to start the business but joining this project means I will just add a little amount of my savings to start the business. My house is also incomplete so I will use the money to finish building my house."

"We lack money for fertilizers which affects our maize production resulting in our family being hit by constant hunger"

"I intend to use the money for building a nice house as the one I currently live in is small, made of mud and is grass thatched. And it badly leaks during heavy rains rendering it very uninhabitable during such times"

"The biggest hardship is finding food. It is not easy to have enough food here"

"I was very happy. I have been assisted greatly and my family is happy"

"I have bought bags of Maize to deal with the hunger problems we had in our house. I have also bought iron sheets, i want to build a better house for my family. I have also bought more things to my business."

"i was very happy and thankful that I have been considered in this programme"
