The transfer will assist me build a better house for my family. Currently, we live in a mud house and it can get damaged easily. It's a worry when it rains. I plan to improve it by building a one room iron sheet house. It lasts longer and looks good. It will cost me approximately $600. The cost could be higher due to the high cost of building materials. Goats do well here, I plan to invest in goat farming. Will use about $300 to buy 6 goats. When they breed, I'll be able to sell them. They can help in raising school fees or buying food from their sales. Additionally, we plan to use the remainder of the transfer to buy food. It's a challenge getting food due to lack of consistent casual jobs.

My family is my biggest joy, they make me happy and hopeful for the future. I have a son and daughter who are still in secondary school.They are progressing well educationally, I know one day they'll have a better living. Education helps one get a good job and henceforth live a better life.

Lake Baringo has been extending over the last decade, and we lost our farm land. Due to this, we moved to higher ground which is less fertile. It's rocky and no access to river or lake water for irrigation. This has affected my ability to provide food for my family. The persistent drought means zero yields for us. We no longer farm. I depend on manual jobs such as planting, harvesting or weeding farms. Farming is costly due to the massive piping and huge pumps needed to pump lake water. Outsiders have come to the village and do farming giving us manual jobs. They pay $3.50 per day, and we hardly find these jobs. This has affected our ability to buy food. We hardly have two meals a day.
