"Before these cash transfers, I used to suffer cooking under a leaking thatched kitchen more so when it rained. The rain drops could even put off the fire at times. However, Life is now different because I can now cook freely and on time because I built a permanent kitchen. In addition, I'm also building another permanent house for my children so soon we will be having enough space because currently the one we are occupying can not accommodate all us."

"My life is different in that, I have been in position to build an iron roofed house that is currently left with fitting a door and windows. Once I shift to my new house, I expect to be relieved from the burden of renovating my grass thatched hut that I currently stay given the scarcity of grass in our community"

I want to make sure that I support her financially as much as I can so as to make her be comfortable at school."

"The moment I received my money, I felt so happy because this money arrived at a time I needed it most."
