"The biggest hardship that I am faced with is lack of money to take care of the needs of my household. I do some small business within my locality but it is not sustainable. I deal in fresh agricultural products like sweet potatoes, cassava which are seasonal in nature."

"My family has lived in a grass- thatched house since I got married ten years ago.Since the family is growing,I decided to build another house.Halfway through,I ran short of funds to complete the construction.I have also been keeping a relative's cow for a few years now to help provide milk for my children but I know that eventually he will come for it.Receiving this money will therefore enable me complete my new house as well as buy my own cow which will be to me a form of investment that can come in handy to help in the years to come."
