"My life is different than it would have been if I never received the transfer because I never had livestock to count as my assets but now, I have a cow and a sheep and therefore I am no longer considered poorest by the community members. Again, I cleared the whole year fees for my daughter and therefore I have had enough rest and peace of mind."

"The transfer really changed my life. Initially, I lived in an earthed house which was very dusty-most of the time, I had to maintain it with smearing which was such a daunting task. But now, I am glad that cementing this house has solved the problem- I live in a better environment. Besides, I can now ferry water far distances for people in the village to get an additional income. This is how my life is different than it would have been if I never received the transfer."

"I used a portion of the transfer to pay my medical bills because I received the transfer when sick. Paid my grandchild in high school fee. Replaced the roof of my house with new iron sheets. I also constructed a new pit latrine because the one I had went down."

"My life is different in that I've increased in body weight since I get foodstuff without struggling so much. Apart from that, I've managed to complete my house which has remained incomplete for so long due to financial challenges."

"When I received my third transfer, I completed the construction of my 45 iron-roof house at a total cost of 40000 KES and cleared secondary school fees for my son. I have felt the best experience ever with the transfer, and if I would be given this money again, I would take it."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is that I now live in an iron-roofed house and am able to collect rain water when it rains since water is the biggest problem in this area. I no longer have to walk in the rain when it rains going to collect water from a neighbour's home. Living under an iron-roofed house has also saved me the stress of packing my belongings when it rains since my roof no longer leaks. This makes me be at peace even if it rains when am not in the house because I am always sure that rain would not destroy my property."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is that I now live in a better house free from dust which has seen my family prevent frequent flu infections and other pesticides infections which bred easily in a dusty place."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is that I was able to pay my daughter's university fees where she studies journalism. Her dream has always been to be a TV presenter and she has been motivated to work even harder and she told me that she is sure that her dream will come true. This gives me inner happiness and peace."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is that my younger children have a place to sleep in after I constructed my own kitchen. This has enhanced their security since they do not have to go sleep in their brother's house which is far away from my main house. I also have a place to cook hence I no longer cook outside where I used to get so worried when it was about to rain. "

"The biggest difference in my daily life is that I managed to plaster the whole of my house. This has improved my family health since before I lived in a very dusty house which was a breeding ground for pests like lice and jiggers which infected my family but today, the condition has changed since we live in a much cleaner environment. My children's relationship even with other children and teachers has greatly improved since they have become much confident than before. This I believe with intern influence their performance at school. "
