What support will you provide to help displaced families restart their lives?
I know what displacement costs, because I've felt insecurity's toll on my own farms. Here's my plan: when you return, you'll receive rebuilding grants, basic household items, starter seeds and tools, and micro-loans to restart. I'll ensure immediate restoration of health centers and schools so your children can go back to class. I'll also secure farming communities and agricultural corridors, establishing protected zones so you can farm safely again.

Answer: Returning families will receive rebuilding grants, basic household assets, starter seeds and tools, micro-loans, and immediate restoration of basic health centers and schools.
