"My life is now different in that, my living standards have improved. These days I also feed and sleep well unlike in the past when I couldn't afford land to cultivate or better beddings to sleep on. In addition, I paid off the loan that made me regain ownership of my land where I now cultivate. Before, was left with only half an acre of land to cultivate upon which couldn't produce enough food."

"The moment I received the money,I felt too happy. It was my first time to receive to receive such an amount of money."

"My biggest hardship is sickness. I'm faced with sickness and there is no money for treatment."

"Receiving this money means I will be able to take care of the education needs of my children, buy household items and build an iron roofed house for my children. The one that they sleep in is grass thatched and mantainiing it is costly the fact that grass is scarce and yet it has to be changed over and again."

"Receiving this money means I will be able to complete the construction of my house. I started building a house seven years back but never completed it because I lacked money to finish up the work. The house that I currently sleep in is grass thatched and it leaks. I am hopping that if all go well, finishing the construction work will be priority so that I can shift to it."

"The biggest hardship that I am faced with is sickness. I am not able to work because of the condition that I am in. I feel a lot of pain each time I try to work so in most cases, I try to avoid work and yet it is the only way I would be able to earn some money/food. I survive on food that people give just as gifts. For the times that I have failed to get anything to feed on from them, I have slept hungry because I don't have any other option. "

"Receiving this money means I will be able to complete constructing my store. I had started constructing it, but I ran short of funds to complete it. I intend to store my food in it during the time of plenty which will make my household food secure during the time of scarcity hence household resilience."

"The moment I received the money, I felt happy. I had longed to get money for completing the purchase of land."

"The moment I received the money, I felt very happy. I knew this transfer would enable me buy the items that I lacked."

"Paying rent has been a burden on my side and at times I ended up paying late. When I received my transfer, I decided to pay rent first. I felt very happy because this time I paid it on time and did have to worry about how to clear it. I had seen my parents being embarrassed by the landlord when they were not in a position to pay rent on time and I did not want my family to undergo the same situation. Besides paying rent, I also did shopping that will push us for some time because I am not always sure of getting money every day since the casual jobs are normally unreliable. The remaining amount was spent on buying clothes for my child."
