"The funds will really help in building a house, buying matress and enough food."

"The biggest hardship is finding food for my entire family and a proper house to live"

"The biggest hardship is finding food to feed this family and also a better place to live."

"As a widow, I assumed the burden of providing food for my family, and since I depend on subsistence farming which in most cases is not reliable, I am forced to engage in odd jobs like charcoal burning to earn cash. Because this type of work is tiresome and time-consuming, sometimes I fail to get food and the only option has been to borrow from my relatives. Therefore, food insecurity has been the biggest hardship that I have ever faced in my life."

"My house looks new from the outside but its roof is just braving the strong winds of our area since the nails rusted and they can not fully hold the iron sheets to the poles, something that has worried me for a long time. I have wished to repair the roof but due to the financial crisis, this has never come through. My plan once I receive this money is to spend utmost 350 dollars to repair my house to make it strong and this will make me enjoy my nights. On the other hand, I plan to buy 7 goats at 35 dollars each to start livestock keeping that can help me sort my needs in the future, and this will change my life for the better."

"As old people we are failling to meet our daily needs"

"The money will help me to buy food; build a house and buy fertilizer"

"Receiving this money means purchasing a pair of oxen. This has been my plan for a very long time because my ambition is to achieve food security. Currently, I do not produce enough from my 2 acre farm and the much we get is food to last us for 6 months. Having these animals will mean scaling up farming as well as hiring them to generate income."

"Receiving this money means alot to my life and that of my family. As a young family, it will help me build my financial status. I will invest it in my already small business of selling fish among other things. This cash will also be used in purchasing furniture for my house and ofcourse not forgetting beddings."

"I mostly worry about food for my home."
