"I am so glad I am enrolled in this GD programme. Most of the times we people who rent houses are not included in the programmes. This is an exciting opportunity for me. I will use this money to buy a fridge. As you know this is a very hot area and buying a fridge will help me have cold water"

"I am so grateful for this program. I will use the money to buy a cow and some goats so that I can start livestock production. I will also start a business of selling groceries."

"I consider hunger as a great challenge. It's hard to feed my family."

"Food access is the main challenge. Our harvest is not enough to support us throughout the year."

"I own two motorcycles that I had stopped using them to offer taxi services as their tyres were worn out and I was living in fear of causing an accident. With the transfers, I was able to purchase new tyres and my business is now thriving. On average, I earn KES 800 and with this money, I am able to spend KES 300 on our basic needs and save the remainder. This has been the biggest difference in my life since apart from meeting our daily needs on time, I am able to save money that I can later use in paying school fees for my children."

"The biggest difference is that I am a casual labourer who earns very little income, It is only enough to buy us food, a time we go to bed on an empty stomach, The house I was living in was too small and old, but we had to bear with it the way it was due to our finances, The transfer lifted the burden off my shoulders, In that, I was able to build a decent house with it, it's like a dream come true, that I did these within a short period, I was also able to stock enough foodstuff hence I am happy and indebted with the support that Has changed my living standards."

"The transfer came when I was unwell, I had no money to sick for medication because I work as a casual labourer, the little I earn is only enough to cater for food, I was so relieved when I received my transfer because I used 50 dollars for treatment, I then spent 170 dollars on starting a goat rearing business where I bought five goats, In addition, I bought two bags of maize worth 90 dollars, and finally, I started a small business of selling mangoes."

"I am a casual labourer in the village and a mother of four children, I have been spending 8 dollars daily on milk because of my young children who depend on it daily, this is very expensive in that I don't have a reliable source of income, The transfer came as a relief on my side, it enabled me to purchase a dairy cow worth 300 dollars, and with that am hopeful that I will have enough milk for my children. In addition to that, I bought four bags of maize worth 160 dollars."

"My husband died five years ago. I had a very young family then. I did not have any job ,we had entirely relied on him. After his death I had a rough time feeding the family. That made my children to drop out of school. That is the biggest hardship I faced in life."

"Receiving this money means improved performance for my children in school. This is because I am planning to spend KES 20000 of my first transfer to pay school fees for the whole year of my son in Mitangani secondary school. I will also KES 30000 to pay school fees for the whole year again for my 5 children in primary school. By paying their school fees for the whole year my children will not be sent out of school to collect school fees and this will improve their performance in school. I will save the little coin I earn in my charcoal work to pay for the school fees for the following year. With my second transfer, I will use it to buy oxen and ox plough because I am planning to upscale my farming."
