"I am a single mother of six struggle to bring up a happy and healthy family. I am lucky that I have young children that I can still share a room with. Since I came back home I haven't had a decent house, recently one I had broke down due to heavy downfall in our area forcing me to build a small structure to accommodate us. To me receiving this money means an improved living standards since first I will build a bigger, decent and more durable house. This will end our current uncomfort of staying in an incomplete house."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is that I managed to buy enough tabs that would last for a whole month. Since I am diabetic getting the monthly medication has been the major challenge to me and most of the time I could not afford to purchase the required tabs. This is because at my age I only depend on my children who also have temporary jobs. Therefore my life has been miserable all along especially when I fail to purchase the tablets. I feel there is a big relief now and may God continue to bless this organization for what it has done into my life."

"Supporting my children's education is the greatest desire that I have had because at the moment I am even worried about what I will do whenever schools reopened. My plan once I receive this money is to ensure I take $200 to clear my son's school fee arrears, to give him a conducive environment for his learning. On the other hand, I intend to buy a modern bed plus a mattress using $150, to replace the one which I currently have since my bed is made of rope and the beddings are rugged. The remaining amount will help me to buy 10 goats that will act as my long term investment plan. This will give my life a new version that I have wished for a long time."
