"It is my expectation that in the next six months I shall have cemented the floor of my house. I want to work towards making sure that the floor of my house is cemented for easier maintenance and to move away from the mess that comes with living in a dusty place like respiratory diseases and the common cold. I am more determined than ever to realize my goals."

"In the next six months, I expect that I shall have already conducted the memorial service for my three sons. This will give me peace in my heart once I accomplish this and make me happy having accomplish this rite for them."

"Living in this small piece of land with all of our families i.e. each of my three brothers-in-law and their families as well as their parents has always been the biggest hardship I have faced.There is always conflict mostly about the land we do our farming in.It is hardly enough to feed us and we have been forced to do casual jobs to substitute it.I have always wished that I could get some money so that my family can move out and have our own but this has been made impossible by the fact that what I get from casual jobs directly goes to buying food and other needs and I do not get to save"

"I expect my life to have improved in the next six months,.My poultry project will have expanded and my daily income will be higher. In addition to this, I will be a livestock keeper as I will have a cow that will be heading towards milk production. I am confident because all is set now for a mwrry go round group to raise money for each one of the members to buy a cow. My life will have improved greatly."

"Hundreds of people in my community live in arid and semi arid lands. We have been subjected to harsh economic backgrounds due to drought and thus lack of a source of income. Water is a scarce commodity which is hard to come by, especially clean and safe water for drinking. It takes a lot of time and effort to get due to increasing competition for water sources between humans and animals, safe for less but drying up water pans which harbor infections due to stagnation -thus not fit for human consumption. I have never lived a life of dignity. "

"I expect to boost my business some more which will, in turn, generate more income to help improve our living standards. By the end of the six months, I shall have bought more livestock for rearing to help in the generation of income for my family."

"I believe by the end of the six months, I shall have bought the livestock for rearing as financial security for the family. I have always wanted to venture into it so that we will not be stranded financially during any emergencies. By then, I would be bragging about my newly finished house as I shall have bought more cement to finish plastering my house."

"With my current plan to purchase and install a chaff cutter in my dairy shed, I am expecting that the whole process will be done within the next six months. I have put this as a priority since for the last few months, I have been having a great challenge in the preparation of the cow feeds every morning. The whole process has been taking much of my time. This machine will simplify the hard work I have been doing and at least spare me some time to work on other ongoing projects in our household."

"The biggest hardship I face in my life is poverty. My main source of income is through farming and when the crops fail to give good yields, it means my household income is affected directly and many activities like paying school fees will not be achieved. "

"Receiving this money means that I will purchase cement and sand to plaster my house. My house is built with sand and whenever it rains, the winds splash water on the wall which loosens the joints and I fear that it may collapse one day.Besides that, part of the money I will use to educate my children. My idea is that, if I educate my children, they will be able to get better employment opportunities in future."
