"I have always dreamt of having a business of my own. My husband and I are unemployed and as a result we depend on casual opportunities like being hired to till or collect firewood and selling to my neighbours so that I can get a payment of kshs 100 which is very little to sustain my family's basic need. Now, receiving this transfer will mean that I'll be able to start a poultry farming as an income generating activity whereby i'll be able to sell poultry products like eggs, manure and chicken on a regular basis and thereby having returns that can be able to sustain me and my family."

"Receiving this money means a fresh start in my life. With limited employment opportunities in Kenya, I would wish to venture into self employment. As a skilled tailor, I will use my first transfers in purchasing a sewing machine together with the required fabric. This will earn me a sustainable income. Secondly, I'll get two diary cows for my family. That way, I'll be able to have constant supply of milk while at the same time be able save money which I've been spending in milk purchase. Having all these projects running means a stable family, a healthy family as well as educated children. I want my children to be proud of me some day."
