"The biggest hardship I have faced in life is providing for my family. I was involved in a road accident while driving a car with our children to school when a tyre burst and the car rolled over. I broke my hand and leg and injured my chest. I cannot do physical jobs and getting alternative jobs has been a challenge."

"My life is currently different. I have hope and optimism. We eat well as a family. We can afford a balanced diet. We have also planted our crops which will be a supply for food for us; this will be a constant supply. We can then use our future transfers for other income generating activities or for other things that we will deem fit."
