"The biggest hardship I face in my lid is inadequate land for crop cultivation. Farming is the only source of livelihood in my household. It's what supports me pay school fees for my children, pay medical bills and feeding my household. What we produce is sold and part of it is retained for household consumption. What is there currently is not able to support my household adequately."

"Receiving this money means building a better iron roofed house that is specious enough to accommodate me and my children. The house we sleep now has a leaky roof due to holes made by rats on it. There is a lot of inconvinience in renovating and when it rains at night hence causing discomfort during sleeping hours."
