"I dont have a specific hardship to say but ii face hardship in my everyday life. Life ia always hard when you cant provide for your children"

"Receiving this money means a lot and my life will be improved. I want to roof my house with ironsheets. This has been my dream but since i couldnt afford i had to persevere and stay in this house."

"The biggest hardship i have faced in my life is having enough food for my family. I go to bed without eating most of the times"

"I was very happy when I recieved the money. I can hardly wait for the next transfer as you can see I have already installed a solar panel and I have lights in my house."

"This money has helped me a lot especially on food. I have managed to buy maize in preparation for January because I mostly do not have enough food in January. I also use the money to buy kitchen utensils which I thought I would never own such as food warmers."

"I believe that it was God who made it possible that I should be enrolled in this program. If I was not enrolled I would have accepted that it was not for me to receive. I am grateful to God that I am in this program."

"Life would have been different because I was living without even thinking about building a house for my family. The transfer has helped me build a house in a very short period of time and I am very grateful."

"The different is that this year I have enough fertilizer which has been a problem for the past years. I have a huge family but I could have enough to feed my family. This year it will be different, If the rains come rightly, it will be my harvest year. On top of that I will have a house will iron sheets, something I never thought about. Am very thankful to GD for this and continue doing the same to other poor families."

"We depend on charcoal vending for our daily income.The monthly income which we used to get was 7,000 Kenya shillings but at the moment, it has reduced to 5,000 shillings because the market is very low due to the corona pandemic. This income is not enough to cater for the family's needs and sometimes I am forced to engage myself in other jobs such as selling of sisal in order to increase my income. Therefore, inadequate income is the biggest hardship that I have faced in my life."

"Charcoal burning is what I have known in my life ever since I got married 25 years ago. This job is very tiresome and time-consuming but since I don't have an alternative job, I am always forced to doing this so that I get food for my children. Therefore, the lack of a decent source of income is the biggest hardship that I have ever faced in my life."
