"Receiving this money means my grandson can finally join a driving school and get the skills required to start his own motorcycle taxi. I also plan to get him the motorcycle with this cash, I will make a down payment and he will clear the balance from the earnings when it starts operations. We will then be able to meet food and other expenses with much ease since I am no longer economically active due to old age. It will also help in keeping him focussed so he does not succumb to peer pressure and engage in bad behavior such as dealing drugs or excessive drinking."

"Getting this money means a lot to me in that, my children are yet to complete primary education which I shall use to pay their fees. I also have limited household items which ibintend to procure once I receive money. My land ain't enough since we are five women on a small piece of land so when I receive this money, I will have to add more land. "

"My expectation in the next six months is to have bought sheep. Having sheep will mean a lot to me because it will be a long term investment. I will be selling them when they increase in number in order to pay school fees for my children or in case of emergencies."
