"When I receive this money, I will pay for my children's school fees and build a better house for our family. The house we are currently living in is not in good shape so this will have simplified our shelter issues. If there is any balance left I will buy some cows for agriculture."

"Receiving this money means that I will finally be able to own my own dairy cow.For a long time now,I have been keeping one cow that belongs to my husband's parents.Sometimes we have issues with his brothers as to why we were given that cow and I have always wished that God opens a way so that I can buy mine.I believe this is an answered prayer.My family will have a constant supply of milk as well as proceeds from the milk and offspring from it will help me with my children's education."

Previously, I was unhealthy and my condition was worrisome. The poison was slowly affecting my body. However, I am very glad that the cash transfer came as a blessing to me."

"The mere fact that I received this money put a big smile to my face as it has enabled me t build my permanent house. I am now planning to move into my house without worrying about the leakage in case of rain."

"The moment I received my money, I felt very happy because I had never held such an amount of money. Before, I could engage in farming but still I was not able to get it."

"The moment I received the transfer I felt so happy. It was the first time for me to hold such a hung amount of money. I had to sit down and plan for it."
