Alfonce
received a $501 initial payment.
"I spent 400 dollars of my transfer on a dairy cow which is now four months pregnant in order to reduce milk purchase costs. I also spent 50 dollars on a goat because it gives birth twice a year. I have also saved the rest for livestock emergency treatment because in our region livestock diseases are prevalent."

Janeth
received a $501 initial payment.
"The biggest difference in my daily life is purchase of my own furniture because before whenever a church meeting was scheduled in my house I used to borrow furniture from a friend of which was a big shame. I have also bought a heifer which will be a source of milk and income for my family because I couldn't afford one before.I have also bought a Kentank which will help storage of clean rain water majorly for domestic consumption because the river water in our place is not healthy for consumption and buying drinking water is quite costly."

"Reinforcing my house with stones plus cement to make it strong is something that has been impossible due to lack of enough money. My plan once I receive this money is to spend 60,000 Kenya shillings to buy the building materials and also to cater for the labour. I will also spend 30,000 Kenya shillings to buy 2 indigenous dairy cows which will provide milk for sell in order to get income. This will change my life for the better and hence, a happy life."

"Receiving this money means a descent and spacious house for my family. I'm planning to use 450 dollars to build a two bedroom house. Two of my children are in secondary school, therefore I'll use a further 300 dollars to pay their school fees. By doing this I'll be at peace and happy."
