"I spent my third transfer on building a kitchen for 25,000 KES as I had none and used to cook from the outside, with all the accompanying inconveniences. I also bought a small bull for 12,000 KES to be used for cultivation in future, paid secondary school fee for our child for 10,000 KES.I thank you."

"I spent my third transfer on plastering our three room house and painting it nicely for 48,000 KES. GD money was a good opportunity for me to do this since I always planned to do so but had no finances."

"I spent my entire third transfer on paying bride price to my parents in law in the form of livestock as well as cash.This has helped me fulfill a tradition that had been pending for long because I had no finances. Thank you very much."

"If I had never received the transfer, I would still be having a life that is not good like sleeping in a poor conditioned house but now, after receiving the transfer, I now have a permanent house and my life style is now comfortable "

"My life is different than it would have been if i never recieved the transfer because i would still be having very many problems and as such, increasing problems. But then, the cash transfer has changed my life and enabled me to reduce on my financial needs such as, pay fees for my children, build a big permant house that will accommodate all my family unlike before when I had the grass thatched house that was hard to maintain since it needed to buy grass almost every year."

"My life is different than it would have been if I had not recieved the transfer because I now have a big permant house that i had never been able to build if I had not got the transfer. "

"I now have started my own business because I recieved the transfer, a big difference in my life than before when I was very poor and not sure of any form of cash inflow"

"I spent 40,000 KES of my third transfer on plastering our three room house which we built using our second transfer. My wife and I never had a house and lived in one of the rooms in my mother's house for many years, which is supposed to be a taboo according to Luo traditions and customs. Because of this, I suffered a lot of embarrassment and insult from the community since this is supposed to be an abnormal behaviour. It was all because my family suffered under the yoke of extreme poverty and nothing could happen since we felt hopeless and were unable to engage in any productive work. Consequently, I could not afford even a small hut for my wife and children. Due to GD support, today we have our own home. And by the way, this got us both very motivated and my wife started a part time small scale business with 1,000 KES in August and she sells vegetables, tomatoes and fruits. Today the business has grown 7 times to the tune of 7,000 KES, not to forget that our family feeds from this source. Again, because GD support gave me the drive, I invested 5,000 KES of my second transfer in land preparation and maize farming on 1.5 ace piece of land and as we talk, our maize crop planted in August is ready for harvest. We expect about 10 bags of dry corn, which had never happened before. I thank you GD, our lives are transformed through GD financial support that enabled my family to get our own home with solar lighting, a business and the motivation to arise and do productive work for a better future."

"I used to stay in a mud house and smearing with mud all the time. So, when I received my third transfer, I bought building materials that I used to build a permanent house. I am now more comfortable in my current house."

"When I received my third transfer,I had lost my grandmother who was my caretaker after my parents passed on, so most of it I spent on the funeral expenses. I also bought building materials using part of it on buying cement and other building materials that I used to cement my eathern floor. I am glad I am able to mop my floor like the other women in my community. I bought food too."
