"I used my third transfer to move to a new home. The moment I got the money, I bought 24 iron sheets and moved to my own home where I set a compound. Since then, I have been enjoying all sorts of freedom and peace of mind-no one argues with over shared resources as opposed to when I shared a compound with my elder brothers in my parents' home."

"My life is different than it would have been if I have never received the transfer in that my son would have still been sleeping in other peoples houses instead of his own like he is doing now."

"If I had not received the cash transfer my life would still be very miserable and unhappy. Life was really hard in that I could not afford good clothes for myself but when I received the cash transfer my life changed tremendously. I am now very happy and living a comfortable lifestyle."

"I spent 30000 KES of my third transfer on a hand cart and the rest on a donkey. I thought of investing in the hand cart and the donkey since it is the most appropriate means of transporting agricultural goods from the farms to the market in a place where I live. I am currently using them to transport for persons' goods and farm products to the markets at affordable cost, hence from it, I am able to generate daily income that caters for my household needs."

"My life is different than it would have been if i never received the money in that i acquired household items i would not have had, and I sleep comfortably in my iron sheet roofed house. "

"There are some few things that we lacked before my child could be born. It was Just a few months to my wife's delivery, but we lacked money to buy clothes for a child that we were expecting and therefore when we received the third transfer, we spent on clothes and used the remaining amount of money to renovate my main house that had turned too old and pathetic to live in. The was also small-with a floor space of 9 by 10 units."
