"The biggest hardship I have faced in my life was losing my husband. I found it difficult to continue with sugar cane farming since I could not pay labor and buy farm inputs the way my late husband used to do. This has left me without any source of income, I also do not have a shoulder to lean on at times of difficulty. "

"Receiving this money means that I will be able to build a new house that is spacious for my family. This is because the current one is too small. With the balance, I plan to purchase a solar panel to assist me with lighting because purchasing paraffin on a daily basis is proving to be too costly."
