"When I received my third transfer, I spent 15000 KES on a sofa set, 5000 KES on a solar panel and the rest on food. My house never had chairs and therefore I was not confident to invite friends and visitors over my house and to make it worse, we never had enought food to eat and therefore we could feel hungry, tired and weak most of the time and therefore we prioritized food as well."

"I spent my third transfer on Depositing 30,000 KES in a Bank towards our child's Secondary education since he just sat his KCPE examination. Normally we grow vegetables near the river for sale but from time to time the River floods and washes it away and so it is not a reliable source of livelihood yet we need to educate our child and so GD Grants came to us quite timely. I also started a small Income generating activity where I make chapati and green grams outside a shop at the Market centre. The business is picking since in just 2 months my initial working capital has grown from 4,000 KES to 6,000 KES, and I feel rather excited."

"Since I married my wife three years ago, I have not paid her dowry according to traditions, so when I received my third transfer, I spent part of it for this course.

I'm now happy and at peace I got a long term solution to curb the challenges I faced previously."
