"The biggest hardship that I am faced with is lack of land for cultivation.
I shared the only piece of land that I had among my children.
What I am left with is too small to sustain the needs of my household.
It is the reason I have always had food shortage in my household. "

"The biggest hardship that I am faced with is lack of land for cultivation.
Paying school fees, feeding and generally the maintenance of a household would have been made easier if I had land.
I hire land to cultivate and sometimes do casual labour to provide for the family.
This is very inconviniencing and less productive."

"In the next six months, I plan to save the money to buy a motorcycle which my grandson will use for the motorcycle business. I would not want him to sit at home doing nothing yet I do not have any income to help us in life. I would want him to have an economic engagement to develop his life."

Joseph
received a $22 sixteenth payment.
"I expect my life to change in the next six months in that my family will be feeding well. I am also hoping that I will have a plentiful harvest of potatoes and onions. I will sell them and use the money to buy a dairy cow. Investing in dairy farming has always been my prayer as it will enable me to cut the cost of buying milk daily."

Millicent
received a $22 eighteenth payment.
"In the next six months, I expect to have saved enough money to purchase enough decent seats for my family. Currently, I only have one seat which barely fits my large family thus my children are forced to sit on the ground. Thereafter, I'll save some money so that I can add more utensils to the few that I have currently."

Grace
received a $22 sixteenth payment.
"I believe in the next six months I will have bought at least two sheep. Saving my monthly income with the intention of buying these sheep will be helpful to me. I know I will have accumulated enough money to buy at least three sheep to start with. Owning them will assure me that in case of uncertainties I will be able to handle the situation with ease by selling them at a higher price."

Joshua
received a $22 eighteenth payment.
"Currently, I have a clay house but it's so dusty. This has resulted in frequent respiratory infections in my family. Therefore, in the next six months, I hope I will have saved enough money to purchase cement and sand which I'll use to plaster the house. This will reduce the amount of dust in the house."
