"I have a small house with which I was not comfortable staying, but now I have built a new big house, that makes me very happy"

"i was very happy to receive the money because it was my first time in my life to have such a huge amount of money"

"I was extremely happy after receiving the transfer, i felt my self jumping off my feet to the roof of my short house. I literally danced."

"In the year 2014 I became sick and when I was admitted in the hospital, I was diagnosed with High Blood Pressure and this was the biggest blow in my health. I became stressed up and I was affected psychologically and it really affected my way of doing things. Also, the little I had for business capital was directed to fund my medications and my business was affected dearly."

"Every year I have been farming in my 0.5ha of land and harvesting an average of 8 bags of Maize. If I get GD transfers, I will make sure that increase the size of land I cultivate to 2ha. This means I will use part of the money to lease 1.5ha piece of land. Also, I will make sure that I use modern farm mechanization so that I get a greater yield per ha."

"I spent my transfers to purchase materials worth $370 for building a new house, the remaining amount of money I spent on food and some few household utilities such as soap. I have three children and I herd cattle for pay as a source of income. I live with my family in a small house that also has a leaking roof. I was very happy when I received the transfers as I will now be able to build a three-roomed house which will be more spacious and sufficient for my family."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is that I feel like I have moved a stepped forward in life. I feel like some of my financial burden has been eased as I now own and rear livestock and I will also own a new and bigger house soon."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is that I can now have a bigger and more spacious house and I can also sleep on a comfortable bed and mattress."

"I spent my transfers to complete building a house that we had started building three months ago. The current house that we live in is small for my family of three children together with their father. My husband and I had started building the house but it stalled as we did not have the finances to complete the house. I was very happy when I received the transfers as I knew that we would now finish building the house and own a bigger and more spacious house."

"I spent my transfers to buy three goats at $90, and the remaining amount of money I spent on buying materials for building a new house. I have six children and we currently live in a small two-roomed house. I cut and sell charcoal for a living which is only sufficient to provide meals for my family; at times what I earn is not even enough. I was glad that I could now be able to build a bigger and more spacious house for my family."
