"Receiving this money means I will be in a capacity to expand my tailoring business. Currently, I operate an old sewing machine at a veranda in the nearby shopping center. Since my wife walked out of our marriage ten years ago, the responsibility of raising children alone has been overwhelming. The little money I earn from my business is hardly enough to feed the children; not even enough to rent a proper working space. Therefore, I will use my money to purchase a new machine and rent a secured place so that I can run the business efficiently. This way, I will have enough income to provide better education, nutrition, and healthcare for the family."

"In our village, getting a packet of maize flour means walking five kilometers away to get one. This has made me to have the desire to own a shop business within the village, a dream that has never materialized yet due to lack of capital. This case has forced me to depend on my husband who is taping wine as his only source of income. His earnings are never enough to support our family needs and therefore, receiving this money means fulfilling my life goal. I will start a shop business in order to have a reliable source of income. The income from this business will support my children's education and other basic needs."

"Despite having separated with my husband twenty years ago, I managed to construct a small iron roofed house which as at today, its condition is not worthy for living. The only business I do is to sell tobacco within the village and this earns me only five hundred shillings per month. Considering my son's job of taping wine, I am forced to supplement his income in order to have our daily meals. Receiving this money means building a good house for myself and also support my son who hopes to own a shop business. The income from this business will sustain our basic needs and hence changing our life for the better."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is that I now stay in a decent place. I had been staying in a grass thatched house because I was stuck with finishing the new house. I used to push the construction process bit by bit whenever I got the ability to. I am glad that, I got the transfer which was channeled towards fixing my roof. Staying in my new house has brought me peace of mind since I do not worry about thatching it more often like I used to do with my grass-thatched house."

"I felt very happy the moment I received the transfer. I stayed calm and called my husband who had already gone to work. He was also excited but kept calm and collected. He told me to stay calm as well until he comes home so that we could discuss the right way to spend the money."

"I expect to have reduced the reliance on working for others on the farms in order to put food on the table. Apart from taking care of the cow we now own, I will also be working on my own farm to produce food crops for my family. These activities are more beneficial than the odd jobs I have to do for very low wages. I expect to make a better living working on my own farm over the next six months."

"The moment I recieved the news of the transfer, I felt very happy. I was sure that this transfer was going to relief me from the dire situation poverty had put me in. "

"The biggest difference in my daily life is that I'm living each day more happy than before. Simply because I settled most of my pressing needs such as food with this transfer. Before, I was too poor to meet all my needs."

"I felt very excited when I received the transfer. My life had been a struggle without basic necesitie like households and food since I lacked money."

"The moment I received the transfer, I felt too happy because this was my first time to get such a huge sum of money."
