"Financial constraints is my biggest harship, this is because being a peasant farmer who solely rely on a small maize farm as source of income. This makes it hard for me to provide basic needs for my children. Sometimes we are even forced to take only one meal the whole day due to lack of money to buy food."

"Ever since I got married, my husband and I have been faced with the struggle of getting sufficient source of income to afford decent shelter and food. As a motorcycle rider in a town whereby there are so many others doing the same business, getting sufficient income to deliver to the owner and even remain with enough to provide for us as a family is becoming increasingly difficult with each passing day, initially when it used to rain, I could plough our farm and harvest enough to sustain the family in as far as food is concerned but now that we are faced with recurrent droughts,the situation of getting money daily to buy food for my family is very strenuous."

"I have been dreaming to do sugarcane farming in large scale. I shall, therefore, spend this money on acquiring more pieces of land in which I shall plant in more sugarcane. Through this, I shall be able to boost my harvest hence be able to increase my income from sugarcane plantation."

"At around 8 am that particular morning, I switched on my phone and the first message that I received was confirmatory of receipt of 55,000 KES from GD. I called out the name of my wife loudly with joy in my heart telling her of the good news. We quickly prepared and left for town to buy a few household items that were missing in the house."

"My life is different in that I have a peace of mind because I was able to complete my house and I also paid my children's school fees on time."

"The biggest hardship I am faced with is lack of money to start my own business and to take care of my family. At the hotel where I work, we are always paid very little money that cannot meet my family food and clothing needs. I always end up using all my daily earnings in buying food alone. This has seen my children go to school without proper school uniform and at times I have to borrow money from friends to take my children to hospital when they fall sick. "

"The biggest hardship I have faced was loosing my wife after short illness. I had gotten used to her companion because she always stayed home with my little boy as I go working in sugarcane farms where we do cane cutting, currently I have to work within our locality because I have to get back home and cook and care for my young son.Atleast now after building a new house Is will consider re-marrying so that I shall have someone to stay with my son."

"The biggest hardship I have faced is lack of stable source of income which has seen my three children in the university and Secondary schools spend more time at home than in school due to lack of fees.It pains me so much to see them at home because education is the only good thing one can give to their children,yet I can not afford it for them."

"My life is different in that I now own aplot of land I have been longing for but I did not have the money to do so but thanks to GD my dream came true."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is that, from the time my mother passed on, life has been hard more so on the payment of fees. But when I received the money, I have been able to pay them on time."
