"My first priority when I receive this money is paying school fees for my last born child who is in secondary school. He is the only one who has gone beyond primary school and I will be proud when he completes secondary education. I will also use 500 USD to buy 4 cows. This will be a source of milk to my family and also help me plough my farm during the ploughing season."

"I have been wishing to get money for installing an irrigation system on my farm for better productivity since I rely solely on crop farming and livestock keeping as a source of income. Unfortunately, we live in an area that usually experiences prolonged droughts. Hence, receiving this money means that my family shall enjoy a higher amount of income because our farm shall be more productive."

"Since I got married, I have been living in a one-roomed house with my two co-wives and our children, I always feel disgraced because there is no privacy at all. We have become a laughing stock to our neighbors and villagers. I had a desire of having my structure but due to financial problems, I have not been able to do so. When I receive the transfers I will use 30,000 Kenya shillings to build a two-roomed house for my family.This will regain my respect and privacy which I have lacked for long. I will also use 35,000 Kenya shillings to buy 2 cows for milking, the income which I will get will help in my financial emergencies. I will then use 20,000 shillings to pay school fees for my children."
