"It is difficult for us to find money to buy food, during harvesting season i do i work as a casual labourer, but when that season goes it is hard for me to find money to buy food since i do not have a reliable source of income."

"I depend on casual labour in order to find money to buy food so when there are no works especially during this rainy season me and my family stay without eating anything. Many times the household head walks very long distances for example all the way to Mangochi Boma in order to find money to feed this family."

"Receiving this money means a new house with iron sheets for us. Our house is grass thatched and small. We will use the funda from GD to build a bigger house and fertilizer"

"The biggest hardship I've faced in my life is hunger as I did not harvest enough food last growing season due to drought"

"I don't have enough food in my house and there is nobody to help us."

"Well, this money means that I will be putting up in a better looking house. This is because up until now Iam staying in a house that leaks which means I and my family do not sleep in a comfortable house. But when I get this transfer, I will be able to build a good house that does not leak."

"I am grateful for being considered. Honestly the funds will help me to finalise my house. I will be able to buy iron sheets and cement. I also plan to buy bedding and kitchen utensils. We have been struggling with farm inputs in the past, the funds will help to buy some farm inputs."

"My husband left me with a small child. Things are really hard. Mostvof the times we go on an empty stomach. Its really hard to find food because i depend on piece works which nowadays are rare to find."

"I was very happy and thankful at the same. I rushed asking my friends if they have gotten their money transfer."

"I bought cement and sand to Maintain my house,paid those doing house maintainance martless and a blanket to be sleeping comftably, bags of maize to feed my family, I also give some to my child as pocket."
