"My life is now vibrant and I am very healthy compared to before I received the cash transfer. I used to feed poorly and I would even spend a day without food but ever since I received the transfers my life has changed tremendously. I eat nice food and I am very happy."

Irine
received a $465 third payment.
"I was longing for constructing a better house since my husband died and left me in a very pathetic one-a house which was old and tiny and therefore when I received my third transfer, I completed the construction of my main house that I had started constructing with the first and second transfer. I have constructed a permanent house that is more spacious and able to accommodate me with all my household members."

Miriam
received a $465 third payment.
"When I received my third transfer, I spent on 52 iron sheets that I have used to construct a bigger house in my home. Currently, I live in a 5-room house and everyone in my household has a room to sleep and rest. Our privacy has therefore improved since then as opposed to before when I lived in a very small house in my father-in-law's home."

"Since I had not constructed and moved to my own home, which is necessary according to Luo culture and values, because I never had money, I was forced to stay at my parent-in-law's home for a longer time till I received my third transfer that enabled me to walk out of shame; eventually I built and moved to my own home where we currently live."
