"I depend on farming for my livelihood, unfortunately, I no longer have the energy to cultivate a bigger piece of land due to my old age, My wife and I depend on milk daily, We use 1litre of milk daily which is KES 45, and this is very expensive for us, therefore when I received my transfer 1 bought 3 cows worth KES 52,000, We are happy that we own dairy cows now and we no longer need to buy milk."

Wesley
received a $489 second payment.
"I spent KES 40,000 from my transfers to purchase a piece of land from one of my neighbors. I settled on this since the land I had is small and one cannot practice farming. I used the remaining amount to purchase some clothes, food and other household necessities for my family."
