"Receiving this money means that I will be able to renew my houses.Both houses are very old and we have always wished to build better ones but have not managed to due to lack of funds.This money will also enable us to build a separate house for our sons who are already grown up but have been forced to sleep in the kitchen;something which is somehow unacceptable in our culture."

"Receiving this money means that I will be in position to build iron-roofed house for better acommdation. Iam currently staying in a grass roofed house which leaks too much whenever it rains. My sleep is so much inconvenienced when it rains since I have to stand on only some spots in the room. This house will provide comfort ,enough space for sleeping and storage of my property."

"My life is now different in that, my living standards have improved. These days I also feed and sleep well unlike in the past when I couldn't afford land to cultivate or better beddings to sleep on. In addition, I paid off the loan that made me regain ownership of my land where I now cultivate. Before, was left with only half an acre of land to cultivate upon which couldn't produce enough food."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is that, I'm happy because I'm soon building a better house for myself. Previously, I had wanted to construct a new house but I didn't have the financial muscle to do so. The house I currently live in has been destroyed by termites."

"My biggest hardship is sickness. I'm faced with sickness and there is no money for treatment."

"The biggest hardship that I am faced with is providing the education needs of my children. I have children both at the primary and secondary level but taking care of their needs is a very hard thing for me to do. I depend on agriculture to provide all that is necessary for my household. However, it is not always well with me because some times the supply is so high which automatically affects the market price negatively. As a result, I have to sell more so as to meet the need. This in most cases affects what will be left for feeding hence food shortage. "

"Receiving this money means I will be able to complete the construction of my house. I started building a house seven years back but never completed it because I lacked money to finish up the work. The house that I currently sleep in is grass thatched and it leaks. I am hopping that if all go well, finishing the construction work will be priority so that I can shift to it."

"Receiving this money means I will be able to buy a cow that can reproduce and also provide milk for my family. I also hope to buy some poultry birds that I can sell at a later time in order to raise money that can support me in solving some household problems. "

"Receiving this money means I will be able to complete constructing my store. I had started constructing it, but I ran short of funds to complete it. I intend to store my food in it during the time of plenty which will make my household food secure during the time of scarcity hence household resilience."

"The moment I received the money, I felt happy. I had longed to get money for completing the purchase of land."
