"My life is different from how it was before because for one I was able to build a new big house which I could not have built to date were it not for the cash transfers. I used to live in a small dilapidated house but then there was nothing much I could do about it because that is all I could afford considering that my financial ability is extremely low."

"I expect my life to be better than now in the next six months in that I will have improved my poultry farming and I will be earning more from egg sales. Through this, I will always afford enough and balanced the diet for my family hence I see a healthier family in the next six months. With merry go round, I am currently participating in I expect to use the lump sum money I will receive to pay my children school fees, on my household basic needs and items and invest the remaining on other income generating activities."

"My prayer is that I will have constructed the kitchen in the next six months so that my family can be safe from the toxic smoke inhaled during meal preparation. Having a separate house will also give me more space in the main house as I will have enough space to store the kitchen items in the new house. I will also have an easy time keeping my firewood dry and have fewer struggles during the rainy season."

"My life is different in that, the one thing that kept dragging me behind and giving me a lot of stress is now behind me. I was able to finish the construction of my three-bedroomed house. The remaining bit is attainable."

"Currently, I can say that my life has really taken a different shape. The fact that I have a whole acre of sugar cane plantation that is under my name makes a huge difference. I am sure of a good harvest and good income as well. This will help propel my stagnated projects. Before I could dream of achieving my goals but the best I ever had was casual jobs which its earnings were meant for day to day expenses in the household."

"I have a difference in my life because initially, I used to plow just a small section of my piece of land because I had a very little amount of money at my disposal. Plowing two acres piece of land requires a lot of money which I have never handled. Apart from that, I also managed to build a new huge three bedroomed house using the first cash transfers. Initially, I used to live in a small house that could barely accommodate my family, but today I am proud to own this humongous building that comfortably accommodates my entire family."

"By buying a dairy cow, I will have reduced the cost of living by a great extent and saved the money that would otherwise be used to buy milk. By so doing then we can make other valuable investments for the family and even take our child to a good school."

"In the next six months I expect my life to change in that I shall have completed my new house. Completing this new house will bring more comfort to us as a family and ease congestion amongst ourselves. We currently stay under one roof with all my children and is often very uncomfortable. Bringing this house to its completion will bring the much needed comfort and privacy of both my children and myself."

"My 18-year-old son is currently sleeping in my kitchen together with my other children which makes him very uncomfortable. I have plans of using the savings I have been making to construct him his own house. I hope that in the next six months, I will have cleared his school fees for the year so that I can focus on buying the materials for his house."

"I expect to have changes in my life because, by that time, I believe I will have done my best to erect the buildings which I will rent out to my customers and earn some rental income at the end of each month."
