"My most felt needs in my household are food insecurity and lack of school fees for my children not forgetting the nature of my house which is currently half open to the walls. All these challenges have put me in a worse situation because my social status has been affected. Imagine watching my children desperately at home while others are in school is something that has robbed away my joy as a mother. In addition, going hungry has also affected our health status and we always look so weak. What a life! I, therefore, consider these challenges as what have made my life so difficult."

"Lack of reliable source of income is the challenge I am currently facing. Indo casual jobs earning approximately $30 per month . Some other months I go without getting any job. My husband also does casual jobs and he makes approximately $50 per month. The money we get caters most for school fees and the rest goes to food. Most of the time the family goes without food for sometimes. There is a time my children missed school due to hunger."

I'm expecting that the proceeds from this venture will generate a substantial income that will allow me to pay for my children's education and live comfortably."

"My primary objective is to extend a section of my house and build additional rooms. Our current residence is insufficient for all of us, and it would bring me tremendous joy to see that we are all comfortable. I'll utilize my tentative transfers for this because I no longer need to buy food as we had a bountiful harvest."

"What I hope to accomplish in the coming year and beyond is to construct a permanent residence for my family. We currently reside in an old mud-thatched house that could be demolished if we encounter bad weather. I have set aside a portion of my earnings and transfers to help me reach this objective. I am pleased to say that I have also begun purchasing building materials and I hope to start construction in October. Getting a new home means that I will be leaving behind a secure dwelling and a legacy for my family."

"For the past few years, I've been sleeping on a sisal twine bed, which has proven to be incredibly uncomfortable, leading to the development of severe back pain. To address this issue, my plan is to use my subsequent transfers to purchase a new bed and mattress. By doing so, I am confident that I will finally achieve a comfortable and restful sleep, putting an end to the prolonged back pain I have endured."
