"The moment I received money, I felt happy because I had never held such an amount of money in my life."

"My life has improved because through this cash transfer, I was able to pay school fees for my seven children who were chased away from school. Previously, I depended on rearing animals to get fees but still had accumulated debts."

"My life is much better because I have repossessed my farm land. Next season I will not hire farm land the way I did in the past. Secondly, I now have enough lighting in my house as opposed to when I used a torch which was costly because I bought dry cells oftenly."

"The moment I received my money, I felt happy because I got money for buying things I never had like a bull and a new mattress."

"The moment I received money, I felt very because I got money for paying a debt."

"I felt very excited when I got money because I was sure of getting where to farm since I never had farm land."

"The moment I received my transfer, I felt happy because I got money for building apermanent house and a cow for milk production."

"I do not have a new goal at the moment. I still want to boost my business. I want my business to grow into a wholesale shop where their can be flow of money from time to time. This will allow me to meet most of the family goals."

"Previously I used to hawk on the streets of Nairobi to earn a living but it had a lot of challenges with low income. It was always hard to raise money to cater comfortably for my basic needs such as paying for the house rent considering that my business was not a reliable one. When I received these transfers, I was able to save up which helped me put up a temporary structure as my selling station where I added more stock to the ones I had. I feel that this business is better than hawking because I get more customers and do not get tired from walking a lot. I currently enjoy a higher profit which has greatly made my access to basic needs and services much easier. I feel I am relieved of the heavy burden of my daily household needs."

"To have a decent house is the biggest dream that I have always desired to achieve. My grass thatched house is leaking making it difficult to shelter during rainy seasons. There are some instances that I had to shift my children in the middle of the night to find shelter in my neighbour's house. It is also the same house that serves as a kitchen and the smoke negatively impacts our health. Living in such a condition gives me depression. I therefore plan to build a better house because I cannot stand the suffering anymore. I will also purchase 2 dairy cows and this will mean a constant supply of milk in my village. This will earn me sustainable income that I will use to finance my family needs."
