"I have ever yearned to own an iron-roofed house for my family but this has never been possible due to a lack of money. Considering me being the breadwinner for the family, a house has not been a priority since all my income goes to food. I am a happy person now after learning that, soon I will have the opportunity to build a new house that I intend to cost me $350. On the other hand, I also plan to upscale my farming, and to achieve this, I will spend $300 to buy oxen plus the ox plough. This will enable me to have early land preparation during planting seasons and this will ensure food security for my family."

"Ever since I was married about 13 years now, charcoal burning has been the source of income for my family. Considering the nature of this job which is very tiresome, and also, its income is low, meeting the family's basic needs like food, good shelter, and paying school fees has been a challenge, and if it means trying to sort them, borrowing from my relatives becomes the option. Therefore, the lack of a reliable source of income is the biggest hardship that I have ever faced in my life."

"I have been dreaming of building a better house. Living in a single-roomed house with a family of four is not enough. There is also no privacy for my grown-up children. I have not been able to build before because I have three children who are in secondary education and one in university yet we depend on subsistence farming for livelihood. Receiving this money will enable me to purchase building materials and pay school fees for my children."
