"Access to food security is the biggest hardship we face in this region due to prolonged drought resulting in land unproductivity. I struggle a lot providing food for my children. Most of the times, I engage in tedious casual jobs in people's farms to earn some income. The little $1 I earn daily is all spent on food, thus supporting other family needs is a struggle."

"Becoming disabled"

"Will buy our needs like fertiliser"

"I am grateful i will use this money to buy my neccesities"

"I am financially challenged most times"

"Living as a single lady is the biggest challenge I have gone through. Life is full of hardships and tackling them all by yourself can be so hard. I have one child from my previous relationship and when he falls sick I am left running up and down seeking treatment all alone. Talk of boredom and loneliness that engulf my house every single evening. I have no one to talk to and share my frustrations. This ordeal makes me feel like I am disconnected from the rest of the world. This is not the kind of life I ever anticipated when I was growing up."

"As a family that consumes milk almost daily yet we own no cattle, we spend significant amounts of our income purchasing them. At times we are forced to do without milk, especially when we do not have money for buying them. Hence, receiving this money means that we shall afford to buy a cow that will act as a reliable source of sufficient milk for our consumption."

"My husband went to SouthAfrica and simetimes does not send any financial help am grateful to Gd as i will use this money to buy more food clothes and beddings for my family"

"This money will reduce my money problems. I have a child who is not schooling due to fees and my house is not in good shape"

"The biggest hardship in my life is raising school fees for my children. Subsistence farming has been our source of income but due to prolonged drought, we hardly harvest. Mostly, my children could stay at home due to late payment of school fees."
