"Our biggest challenge is money. Money to pay for my 2 children's school fees. They are both in secondary school in form 1 and 3. They go to Njelenje CDSS and their fees K22,000 each and about $45 for both per term. Which is $135 per year. That's a lot of money considering how we find money. My husband has a shop at her trading center where he fixed phones. Money made there is what pays off our children's fees. Food is also a problem but we try to do irrigation farming so that we at least have some food and not rely on buying the whole year."

"Our main challenge is food. This is because of how the rains go here. They start late and stop early. I also don't have a stable source of income to help me attain all that I need. I do rainfed farming and also irrigation farming in winter. I farm onions. I had good sells this year and that how I built the house i live in. So I don't have a problem with housing but utensils in the house. I don't even have doors because the money finished before I could get doors. I sleep on a woven mat and lack good beddings. Comfortable sleep is important aside the house being in condition."

"The challenge I am meeting is lack of money. We don't have money for food, a good sleeping place and a decent house. We wish to live in a house with iron sheets and stop stressing when it's rainy season."

"My biggest challenge is money. I don't have money for food, and we potion a lot for the food to last longer. I am a widow and I struggle to make ends meet. I go out to do casual work to find money."

"My biggest challenge is food. I don't have food because the rains are inconsistent here. I also lack adequate farm inputs like fertiliser so I end up yielding less than I should have. So then I rely on casual work where I farm people's farms and get paid to buy food. When it's off season my husband gets a job where he sells maize and gets paid. That's how we survive."

"The problem is money. I have 7 children living with me. 5 young ones and one who's come back from a failed marriage and has come with a child too. So my family is of 9 now. Providing for everyone is hard considering our sources of money. We don't have food because of how farming goes in our area. We have to buy all the time. My husband sells goat meat to sustain us."

"Poverty and hunger"

"One of the challanges that am facing currently is lack of school fees for all my children due to inadequate source of income."

"The challanges that am currently facing is poverty and hunger due to lack of income generating activities, also too much rains that has led to flash floods which has destroyed our gardens hence causing hunger."

"I'm proud of the excellent progress I've made, particularly in raising my family's income. I owe GiveDirectly since I established a little restaurant with the prior transfers. We have survived thanks to its success and the $5 profit it generates each day. Since we don't supply a lot of food right now, the restaurant typically runs out of food by 2:00 o'clock in the evening, which forces people to eat somewhere else. I intend to improve it with the next transfers so that we can serve a huge number of consumers and have it functioning till seven in the evening. All of our customers' wants will be met, and we'll also increase our profits. We have a son, and my goal is to give him the best possible standard of living, including all the necessities."
