"Receiving this money means that I will buy land for farming and build iron-roofed house. My family hires land per season, this is quite expensive and at the end little crop produce is realised which does not support out needs. Also getting grass is to expensive and yet it requires renovating the house after every two years . I will engage in to serious farming hence maximising on production after buying my own land. These produce will support me in educating my children and providing other basic needs. The house built will enable savings and provide comfortable accommodation for my family members."

"The biggest hardship that I am faced with is lack of money to do the things I would love to do. Currently, I am sick and I can not work at the same pase with the rest of the people. I can not do garden work and yet that would be the ideal. I am motorist offering boda-boda services but it is not rewarding enough because I am not able to satisfy my financial need. The motorcycle that I am using is for someone else who also needs his share at the end of every week. Life is not easy."

This worries me a lot because if it continues to rain, the building is most likely to collapse. The balance of the money will be used to pay fees for my children. Though most of my children study in a government school, there are other financial demands that parents are expected to meet like buying books, uniform, meals, etc. Providing better education for my children will help them secure good employment opportunities in future."
