"In the next six months, I will have more land under cultivation. I am setting my eyes on maize and onion farming with a view of making enough money to help me raise a happy family and meet all the needs. With the proceeds from my farming, I will be able to buy building materials that will enable me to build a new house for my family. The house that we are currently staying in is too small for us and I am looking forward to constructing a new one for my family."

"I expect my life to change positively in the next six months. I am optimistic that I will have started planting the passion fruits. This will boost my income enabling me to provide best education to my children. In the next four years, I am planning in enrolling them to boarding school where they will have more time to study efficiently and perform well, since they will no longer have to spend too much time on the way walking for long distances to school and back ."

"I used my most recent transfers to expand my business. When I received my first transfer, I started a new business where I sell cereals. I have been depending on casual jobs and the money I got was not enough to meet my basic needs. The initial capital when I start the business was small and the income from the business was little. I used my transfers to expand the business so that I can get more income to meet my family basic needs and pay school fees for my children."

"I felt happy on receiving this cash transfer because It helped me to pay tuition for my children. I had challenges paying tuition for my son who is pursuing a nursing course and two others who are at secondary level."

"I want to use these transfers to purchase basic household items such as utensils. I have had a big problem in the past whenever I have visitors having to borrow from my neighbours. It is quite an embarrassing site I would like to change it."

"My life is different in that, I have bought building materials (iron sheets and bricks). I intend to construct a permanent house in the plot of land I acquired with the first transfer. Previously, I was not at peace staying home because my brothers were not happy with my return from marriage due to land issues."

"I spent my most recent transfer to pay for a motorbike that I bought for transport business. I bought this motorbike as an investment that can boost my income. I cannot ride a motorbike myself, I have instead given this motorbike to an experienced rider who brings me a commission of 300 KES everyday. I took this motorbike on loan which I am required to make partial payments until I complete the payment. I am a pig farmer here in Mathare, and I also carry luggage for people at Garrissa Lodge market in Eastleigh, for some pay. I spent part of the transfers also to purchase two more pigs for my pig farm."

"The change in my daily life is that, I am happy because I have building my house. On top of that, I have been able to acquire basic necessities like utensils, bedding, clothes and meeting treatment bills."

"On that day, I woke up in the morning and I went to check my phone for any missed calls or messages. That is the moment that I saw the message and I was very happy. I had believed the rumors that were going around in my neighborhood in Mathare 4A village, about the transfers not being real. When I saw the message, I believed that truly the transfers were real and I went to withdraw the money to buy food for my children so we could celebrate."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is that I can pay for my younger brother's school fees without much struggle. My brother now stays in school without being sent home for school fees and I also support my household comfortably."
