"I spent part of my transfer on buying some building materials such as iron sheets to finish constructing my house which I had initially started a few months ago. I also bought a piece of land worthy of KES 35000. This was specifically for my agricultural activities. For the remaining amount of money, I bought enough foodstuffs for my family and some other household items."

"The moment I received the transfers was around six fifty in the morning while we were still asleep . I was very happy and relayed the good news to my wife who very excited too. In no time we woke up, my wife cooked breakfast and we bought went together to withdraw the money."

"The biggest difference in my life is leaving peaceful life because I have paid fees and adequate food for my kids in campus before it was quite difficult to feed them before. I have also installed piped which has saved time for working in my farm and now we have access to drinking water and clothes are more clean than before because water from the dam which would stain clothes. My kids are very happy and grateful because they are clothes are more neat than before."

"My biggest hardship has been my struggle to find money. My source of income is casual labour and its not always roses. There times i go out and come back with empty pockets as i was unable to find any work to gain my income that day. This results to us sleeping only on mangoes as food but this also is a problem as mangoes are seasonal"

"Both I and my husband are mute and this has badly affected our interaction with people as some people tend to mock us and think we cannot achieve great things in life which explains why we never attended any school because people in the village think we are useless."

"Receiving this money means a relief from our daily casual labour, gardening in other peoples farms so that I can find money to buy food for my family. Using the money I will be able to buy enough food for my household as we are already starving to the point of spending 2 days without any food but sleeping on mangoes and wild roots and fruits."

"I have difficulties in finding food for myself as I have just recently gotten married after being impregnated by my boyfriend and my parents have chased me out of their house. This has made it difficult for me and my husband to support our marriage as we are all very young kids without any jobs or gardens of our own to farm"

"Basically, as a family, we do not have a reliable and stable source of cash to live a comfortable life and to sustain it. This is because my husband does not have any job and he cannot find capital to start any small scale business."

"I and my wife are very old and we are not Energetic to find food on our own as a result we depend on well wishers to share us some food and if they don not then we go to bed on empty stomachs."

"Well, when I receive this money I will buy iron sheets in order to construct a better looking house. As you can see, my house is in a dilapidated state, therefore, this cash will among other things be used to build another house. Secondly, I will buy mattresses as well as food. Iam sure my life will change for the better."
