What did you spend your third transfer on?
I spent most of my third transfer on completion of construction of a house that we started building using the second transfer.I invested the remaining 5,000 KES in a business where I sell vegetables, tomatoes and sardines since June 2017. My life has changed as a result of this small business and I no longer do odd jobs for my better-off neighbours as before.

What did you spend your first transfer on?
I spent most of my first transfer to buy iron sheets which I intend to use to build my house. I bought a sack of maize for my family's consumption and also bought hybrid seeds.
Describe the moment when you received your money. How did you feel?
When I received the money, I was very happy because I was down financially and I did not have food or maize to mill in my house. Thank you GD

What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
My house leaks from the roof and the walls during rainy seasons. It brings my family much discomfort especially my children who sleeps on a mat on the floor at night. It really expose them to health risks.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is the evening when am selling vegetables in our village market. It gives me sense hope that I will take something back home to my family who depends on me.
What does receiving this money mean to you?
I am so happy that my household is one of the luckiest to receive this kind of help and it is going to have a great impact in my life.
