"The biggest difference in my daily life is that I am now a proud owner of a dairy cow. I have been yearning to keep it in my homestead for years but I could not afford it since it was too costly. I settled on purchasing it because it has various benefits. One, I will be getting plenty of milk which will be for my family consumption, and for the remaining liters I will be selling them to my neighbors and generate an income. This will empower me to meet my family's needs without straining like I used to do i.e. paying school fees for my children, their daily meals any many more."

"i was excited about iit"

"Lack of a reliable source of income that can support the needs of my family has been my biggest hardship. I purely depend on motorcycle taxis but this income is hardly enough to sustain our needs. I only earn 200 shillings on a day which is not even enough to cater for foodstuff."

"I spent KES 32000 of the first transfer on buying ten goats that I am keeping in my homestead. My expectation is to see them reproduce and have many of them. I have two sons who are still young and are currently in lower levels of education. I am planning to keep these goats so that when my children are out of age and in high levels of education, I can sell the goats to cater for their fees. I also own a kiosk in my village and the premise was not in good condition. I spent a portion of the amount to buy cement and renovated it. The transfer has also enabled me to buy enough food daily in my household."

"I have three kids who are in school. One is in University, the second one is in the final year of his secondary education while the last one is in last year of her primary education. I usually pay 80,000 to cater for their school fees every year. This is a lot of money considering the fact that my husband is the only one working. Receiving this money will mean that I will be able to pay the full amount of their school fees on time so that I can have adequate grace period to plan for the subsequent year."

"As a young growing family, to adapt to this life is a bit challenge more so when you don't have a stable income. I am a carpenter and the little I earn goes to basic needs. I have been dreaming of purchasing a dairy cow of our own. Now we depend on my parent to assist us with milk. I have been seen this as a burden I am giving them since they have other children to cater for. God willing we receive these transfers, I will purchase a dairy cow of 25,000 shillings and use the rest for the expansion of my kitchen."
