"Our area is drought stricken thus we cannot rely on farming alone for food. This has resulted to the issue of food insecurity since we have to buy most of the commodities. To address this problem, my desire has been to start an irrigation scheme. My farm is close to our community dam and I am not worried about water supply. I will purchase a water pump and pipes to set up the project. Besides, I will build a good house for my family because the current one is in a bad state. Receiving this money therefore means an improvement in our lives."

"Charcoal burning is still my source of income at my old age. This job requires alot of energy for one to produce meaningful income. Since I am not energetic enough, the much I earn is around 900 shillings a month. This amount cannot cater for all my needs and at times I have to depend on my children who have their families too. Life is such a struggle and I lack basic necessities such as good beddings. All this is caused by lack of enough money which is my biggest hardship."
