"Coming from a large family of 7 men, the ancestral land is becoming smaller as the family expands and one of my biggest concerns is lack of enough space for cultivation. I, therefore, intend to use my first transfers to purchase a piece of land, and that will be a dream come true. I will no longer have to purchase farm produce from neighbors as I will have enough space to grow my own. Additionally, I desire to venture into goat rearing business --accordingly, I will purchase 10 goats for a start and as they continue breeding, my financial stability will be strengthened, and that is what receiving this money means to me."

"The biggest hardship that I face in my life is inadequate land for crop cultivation. I hire land to cultivate on a yearly basis and that is very expensive to maintain. All the money that I esrn through tailoring is spent on hiring and weeding crops leaving me with not savings."

"The biggest hardship faced currently is shortage of cultivation land to grow more food crops since most it is held up as security for money borrowed. In addition, with limited money available, I find a challenge in paying children's school fees."

"The biggest hardship I face in my life is lack of a reliable source of income for the household. I am a peasant farmer and inadequate land and lack of oxen for crop cultivation had hindered income generation at household level."
