"This is an opportunity for our family as I want to use the transfer to build a house and buy goats that I will keep so that I sell them in the future."

"I'm planning to use 400 dollars from this donation to construct a two bedroom descent and spacious house for my family. This will guarantee my children an enough sleeping space instead of sleeping at their grandmother's house. I'm also planning to buy three indeginous dairy cows at a cost of 450 dollars for milk production both for domestic use and for sale. This will in turn boost my family's nutritional requirements and at the same time getting money to attend to my family's financial obligations."

"The biggest hardship I've faced in my life is fending for my children. I have problems finding money so that i provide for them"

"I am so happy to receive this money. I personally live in my fathers little room with my family. I do not have a house. When i get this money i will use it to build a new house."

"I am an old woman who mostly rely on begging for food from other people since I cannot manage to do some piece work in order to find money so that I can provide for myself due to old age. Because of my old age I fail to provide for my family as a result starvation is the order of the day."

"I mostly rely on piece work to survive but recently due to Covid-19 I cannot easily find piece work from around time as a result I am struggling financially to provide for my household."

"I was away from the house and I had left my phone in the house. When I came back to the house, I went to check my phone and it was when I saw the Mpesa message. I was very very happy and shocked at the same time; I was not expecting the transfers at that time. I was very happy."

"I'm so grateful for the money..I will use the money to build a house with iron sheets and cemented floor...some of the money will be used to purchase necessities such as beddings and clothes as well as beds.."

"My life has changed coz of house"

"My life has changed so much from a food begger to having bumper food. With the number of children I have, It was difficult to harvest enough food that will take us the whole of the year. It is not because of lack of farming land, but I could not manage to buy fertiliser. But all thanks goes to GD as with the transfer I was able to buy more bags of maize and on top of it, I have bought fertiliser that I will apply on my seefds"
