"I'm happy and grateful for being enrolled in the programme and receiving this money really means alot to me."

"The biggest hard ship is i don't have a comfortable place to sleep on,i don't have clothes and i literally don't have a proper and sustainable source of income."

"I am a single mother of six struggle to bring up a happy and healthy family. I am lucky that I have young children that I can still share a room with. Since I came back home I haven't had a decent house, recently one I had broke down due to heavy downfall in our area forcing me to build a small structure to accommodate us. To me receiving this money means an improved living standards since first I will build a bigger, decent and more durable house. This will end our current uncomfort of staying in an incomplete house."

"I have been struggling to find food for the family."

"Food provision has been a problem."

"I spent part of my first transfer on buying a dairy cow at KES 17000. Thus will serve as the living asset that I will depend on. I also bought some plastic chairs to replace the old mats that I have been using to sit on. Lastly, since I am diabetic I bought some tabs that would last for the whole month and enough foodstuffs to boost my immunity and also for my family."

"I can now feed my family and I'm sleeping on a mattress and I can start doing a small scale business to sustain our livelihoods."

"I will be able now to live in a better house"

"Supporting my children's education is the greatest desire that I have had because at the moment I am even worried about what I will do whenever schools reopened. My plan once I receive this money is to ensure I take $200 to clear my son's school fee arrears, to give him a conducive environment for his learning. On the other hand, I intend to buy a modern bed plus a mattress using $150, to replace the one which I currently have since my bed is made of rope and the beddings are rugged. The remaining amount will help me to buy 10 goats that will act as my long term investment plan. This will give my life a new version that I have wished for a long time."

"I dropped out of school in the year 2012 when I lacked money for school fees. After dropping out of school I decided to get married hoping to continue schooling after marrying but all on vain. I haven't gotten the chance to go back to school because school fees is still a problem to me."
