"I expect in the next six month to have saved enough money and bought the necessary building materials which will necessitate the construction of my decent spacious iron sheet house hence staying in a leaky grassed thatched house won't be a challenge."

"I am a business minded person and my ambition has always been to own a very stable business. In the past I used to run a second-hand clothes business and a small shop in Mombasa which collapsed due to financial instability. My village is drought stricken and people are not able to access vegetables and most of the time they take ugali with salt. I see this as an opportunity to start a grocery business that will not only generate income but also improve the livelihoods of people. I will also reopen my clothes business which I will run alongside the grocery. I will save extra income in a sacco that will enable me to access loans in order to expand the business and also educate my children."

"Receiving this money means that I will be able to buy a piece of land that I can settle in."

"Receiving this money means that I will be in position to complete the construction of my house, buy a piece of land that can support my cultivation activity. "

"Receiving this money means that I will be able to retrive the piece of land that was leased by my parents, buy some cattle and pay bride price to my parents-in-law."

"The biggest hardship that I am faced with is lack of money. I do not have any clear source of income. "

"When I get this money, I will complete the construction of our house and hire some land for agriculture."

"In the next six months, I expect to establish my own home. Residing in my own home will in itself be a big change in my life since I will be able not only to decorate it but also do some farming within my compound. This will also grant me peace which I had lacked after the demise of my husband, a situation that left me hopeless in life. The death of my husband, who was the sole breadwinner in my household left me with no option but to continue to live in a small leaky grass thatched house."

"I see myself making more money in a period of six months because I will have repaired the motorcycle which means that I will have a full- time job as a motorcycle taxi operator. I don't plan to quit the current jobs I do and I will be taking them whenever an opportunity arises."

"When I receive this money, we shall renovate the house and buy some cows."
