"I used the money to buy a bicycle and a mattress which I did not have. I went on and bought 5 iron sheets to add on to the ones that I already purchased in the past. I also bought doors and frame for the house that I plan on building.
I did not have enough food so I bought 3 bags of maize to add to my storage."

Faith
received a $502 initial payment.
"The biggest difference in my daily life is that I am now a proud owner of a dairy cow. This is what I have been yearning to rear for quite a long time but I could not afford it because of the poverty life that has stricken my household. I am now optimistic that my life will transform very soon since currently I am getting the benefits. I am getting lots of milk whereby some litres are for my family's consumption and the remaining litres fro commercial purposes. I will be saving the money from the sale of the milk and buy a piece of land that is achievable and very soon I will own it."

Ronoh
received a $502 initial payment.
"I spent part of my first transfer on buying some building materials such as iron sheets, building poles, and threads. This was for the construction of a kitchen. I later bought some livestock such as a dairy cow and chicken at a total of KES 31000. I settled some debts in the nearby shop where I had been taking foodstuffs for my family. With the remaining amount of money, I bought enough foodstuff for my family and some other household items such as plastic chairs."
