"When I received my transfer, I spent KES 25000 from it to clear fee arrears for my children. We settled on this so that they would not be sent back home. Also, I spent KES 15000 in improving my house by cementing the floor. We decided on this since there's is a time we wanted to do so but only bought some materials and decided to concentrate on paying school fees for our children first. I used the remaining amount to buy some food and clothes for my family."

"Our family relies heavily on farming. If we do not harvest enough then it means more hunger within the household due to the large family. Its very rare for us to be affording food and other needs from the proceeds of selling maize as we also need to keep some for the family. This situation always lead to scarcity of basic needs every time as the maize is never enough to sell some and earn some money."

"The excitement I had on receiving the transfer was immeasurable. I was also filled with joy which rejuvenated my hope of making it up to my children who had been living in poor housing with ragged clothes. Their bedding has never been good as the sheets I dispose of after buying new ones. Everyone was so happy after acknowledging the receipt as this was a complete turn of events for the household."

"Receiving the transfer was the happiest moment not only for me but also for every member of my household. It was a sign of a revived hope that we were almost losing in many projects that had been hanging for a long time. I thanked God for showing up at such a desperate moment and bringing back the smile I had lost."
