"Reliable source of income is the challenge I am currently facing in life. I do casual jobs with very little income which caters for food and school fees. Sometimes the family goes without food and even children miss school due to lack of school fees. Last year one of the children stayed home for almost two weeks due to lack of school fees."

"Source of reliable income is the challenge I am currently facing. I used to work as a driver but the owner of the vehicle I used to driver sold it. I am currently at home doing casual jobs. I can take even a whole month without any job. This has made my two grand daughters to miss classes sometimes."

"My goal for this year is to purchase a plot of land and build a house. Currently, we are renting, but owning our own place would bring immense peace and financial relief. I am already in the process of acquiring the land, and I plan to utilize my savings alongside forthcoming transfers to achieve this goal. Owning our own home would not only provide my family with stability and security but also bring peace of mind. It would also alleviate the financial burden on my husband, who currently shoulders the responsibility of paying our monthly rent. This program has truly been a life-changing blessing for me and my family."
