"Food security has been my biggest hardship. Getting food has been a challenge because I have to purchase food to feed the family. The little I harvest from my farm can only last for 4 months. This is on a good season. Sometimes I hardly get food from my farm. Lack of rains and sometimes floods leaves me with nothing to feed my children. I am forced to do casual jobs; which are rare to find ,in order to get money to buy food. Lack of water for domestic use worsens the situation. We go looking for water in very far places. Life is really tough."

"it means that I have found a means for things that I lacked"

"This money means alot for me and I'm so excited"

"So far finding means to buy basic needs like food,clothes."

"The biggest hardship is that my house got destroyed a year ago as you can see I'm currently living in a kitchen but with this money I'm about to receive i feel like everything will be fine."

"The program is helpful. Firstly, i will buy new beddings and farm inputs. I also have a bicycle which needs to be repaired."

"I have been wishing to get money for installing an irrigation system on my farm for better productivity since I rely solely on crop farming and livestock keeping as a source of income. Unfortunately, we live in an area that usually experiences prolonged droughts. Hence, receiving this money means that my family shall enjoy a higher amount of income because our farm shall be more productive."

"The main challenge has been food."

"I have been having a stomach problem for a long, I have visited different hospitals for scanning. The doctor said I have a uterus problem that needs special treatment. The treatment cost is 2,000 Kenya shillings but from that time until now I have not been able to raise that amount.Financial crisis therefore is the biggest hardship in my life.The little I get goes into basic needs such as food leaving me with nothing for other needs like medication."
