"My life is different in many ways because I had no proper house, I had a leaky house that I shared with all my children meaning there was no privacy. I also managed to buy a donkey that I am currently using for transporting peoples commodities to the market for pay and I earn cash that I use in buying food and paying school fees to my children, y children no longer get sick frequently because our house is now warm and safe unlike the old one that exposed us to harsh weather of extreme cold nights and I no longer have to borrow money from friends and relatives to take my children to the hospital. My income have improved and I am able to feed my family very well unlike when I used to work long hours in peoples farms and earn too little money to meet our daily needs."

"I depend on subsistence farming for a living but it is not enough to sustain my family. In most cases, I harvest around 3 bags of maize which feed the family for only 2 months. The low production is due to inconsistent rainfall and lack of better farming equipment. Therefore, I will use part of this transfer to purchase oxen and an ox plough. This will enable me to till a bigger piece of land fast enough in order to catch up with the short rains. Therefore, it will mean getting more maize that will sustain us for a longer period. Besides using the oxen in my farm, I will also rent them to my neighbours to generate money for meeting other needs such as clothing. Apart from purchasing oxen, I will also use this transfer to complete my house which is under construction since the current on is very small. Lastly, I will enroll my son in a polytechnic since I was not able to take him to secondary school."
