"I have a long term goal which entails buying more goats so that when we get to such a time when the transfers will be stopped, I will have a large flock which I am sure will keep multiplying after every short period. In the event that I run into a financial crisis, I will be in a position to sell out the goats and earn some money in return, which will then make it easy for me to raise the amount required to keep the kids in school."

"In the next six months I shall have been able to open up a small business of shop keeping.

"The biggest difference in my daily life is the house that I built using part of my first transfer. We had lived an uncomfortable life with my young family since we had a small grass thatched house that could not even accommodate a bed. The biggest hardship and desperacy of my small house were going around my neighborhood to ask for someone house to welcome my visitors whenever I had. I had always felt ashamed and lost my self-esteem due to this in society. I depend on hardly found low paying casual jobs leaving my family to heavily depend on my husband tailoring business which can only afford the household daily expenditure. I spend KES25000 of first transfer to build an iron-roofed, two-roomed house that has given we currently have pride as a family. I am so happy that I can currently live in a better place, can acquire more household items since my house can accommodate as well as welcoming anyone in my home unlike before."

"In the next six months, I expect that my life would have changed a lot. Since I will have bought the water dispenser we will now be taking clean water.

We would no longer risk taking contaminated which might have lead to some health-related issue."

"Lack of a reliable source of income has been the biggest hardship in life. At the moment, my husband works as a casual laborer in Mombasa. His is an on and off kind of job, something that is unreliable and the income is not sustaining at all, not even enough to meet his travel expenses home. Most of the time, he stays away for up four months. As a result, I engage in charcoal burning business in order to meet other needs of the family. Juggling between housework and this job is frustrating. Most of the time am exhausted since the job is laborious and male-dominated. Am glad this money will bring him closer to the family. We plan to assist each other is raising livestock for sale."
