"Well, when I receive this money I will use it to buy bags of cement to finish constructing my house. I paused constructing this house because I had no cash but now with this money Iam sure I will complete it's construction. Iam equally excited because part of the funds shall be used to buy food for my family."

"When my wife left me, I faced the biggest hardship of my life. I had children to take care of and at the same time fend for them through casual labor. They were so young at the time and the responsibilities were so much overwhelming to me."

Kahindi
received a $494 initial payment.
"I spent part of my first transfer on buying four goats. These shall be the living assets that will come in handy when an emergency arises. I settled to buy goats because I have the necessary skills to rear them. I addition to that, I bought several building poles, a few pieced of iron sheets, timber, and nails. I purchased l these with an intention of constructing a new house. Also, I spent a smaller portion of the transfers on clearing a hospital bill because some years I was involved in an accident and I normally attend some checkups as a result of that. With the remaining amount of money, I bought enough foodstuffs for my family."

"The biggest challenge I have is finding enough money to buy food for me and my family. Since I depend on casual labour which is mostly found during the farming season, Its hard for me to provide for my family when I dont find any piece of work."
