"The biggest hardship is famine. My farm hasn't been productive, I farm but the crops fail. I am worried that my children may have to sleep hungry in days to come. As we head to January I will have to be buying food yet I don't have a constant income. "

"We live next to an electricity line but my children still struggle doing their homework because of limited lighting. Receiving this transfer means I will be able to do electrical wiring and get electricity to my home. This will ensure my children study well and cost of lighting also goes down."

"I would say that the biggest difference fro is that I was able to buy new sofa-set which I never had before because I used to get very embarrassed whenever I got visitors who came to pay me a visit and they had to sit on rugged seats. Right now I no longer gets embarrassed whenever I get visitors because I have enough space that can accommodate them very comfortably."
