"Receiving this money means that we shall afford to purchase a dairy cow that will provide us with milk mainly for consumption. Since milk is one of our staple and volatile food items, we have been spending almost 0.3 USD daily on buying them. This is relatively costly to us because I am currently earning a small amount since I am not yet employed permanently. Also, we shall build a kitchen because currently we have a three-roomed house where one of the rooms serves as the kitchen. Since we use firewood as fuel, our house is usually filled with smoke and soot."

"We have been struggling in vain to improve our house to a semi-permanent one due to lack of funds. Currently, we are living in an indecent house that is relatively expensive to maintain. Precisely, our dust is a common nuisance in our mud-walled house. Also, maintenance of the house is costly because I have to smear regularly. So, receiving this money means we shall afford to improve our house into a semi-permanent one. As such, we shall avoid the tiresome maintenance tasks while staying in a cleaner and more decent house. Besides, we shall spend any remaining amount on starting up a business that will get us some income."

"Receiving this money means I will build a new kitchen and do some renovation in my other living room, I will also pay for school of my daughter who had to step down from school due tos lack of school fees. I am a widower and since my husband died who was a bread winner in the family, we have lived a miserable life of doing casual jobs in order for us to get something to eat, my age cannot allow me to do heavy jobs in my small farm. I plan to spend 400 dollars to pay for school fees, 450 dollars to build a kitchen and renovate the house and use the remaining balance for purchasing a dairy cow that will help me supplement the school fees in selling milk."

"I was married in a polygamy family and my husband does everything to both families, I have admired to do my own things in the family to earn a living, this dairy farming will boost my income at home."

"I currently live in a old grass thatched house that is licking.Receiving this money means a decent housing for my family. I intent to use $ 500 to build a timber walled house and $ 300 to purchase an additional dairy cow for the income generation and household use . Additionally, I will spend $200 on school fees for my son and the rest on food and clothing for the house."

"From the year 2003 to the year 2013, I had been struggling to make ends meet in my life, engaging in all sorts of casual jobs and farming. I had just finished my college and I already had my three children thus giving them education, food or clothing was stressful since I had no income. To me lack of job from the year 2003 to 2013 was the biggest hardship I have ever faced in my life."

"My life is different than how it would have been had I not received the transfer. This is because I am now a proud owner of a dairy cow. I am now glad since I can proudly say that I have an asset of my own. In addition, I will be earning some income through the sale of milk when it calves and I will be able to use this money in paying school fees for my children."

"My life is different than how it would have been had I not received the transfer. I majorly depend on farming and hiring a tractor for tilling and planting purposes is always costly. I am glad since I have my own oxen that am planning to be using for this purposes. In addition, I will be hiring them to my neighbors and in turn earn some money that I can use to support my family."

"My intentions now is to renovate our house and buy a plastic water tank (Kentank) to help us harvest rain water and avoid perennial water shortages. I will therefore budget $150 for renovation and $200 to buy Kentank. I will also buy a dairy cow with $300 as it will enable tap income through sell of milk. My husband has Kiosk and I will give him $200 to buy more stock to the enterprise, the remaining $150 I will use to buy clothing and food for my family."

"Receiving this money means a better education for my children. Currently, I have 3 children who are in university, I have been struggling in paying their school fees. In most cases, they have been at home due to a lack of money. When I receive this money I will clear their school fees, I will pay ksh 80,000 for the 3 children and that will enable them graduate successful. The remaining amount I will buy foodstuffs for the family and clothing's."
