My life is different than it would have been if I never received the transfer, in that I no longer buy milk daily like before because the transfer enabled me to purchase 3 dairy cows, of which I am hopeful that I will get enough milk to feed my family, In addition, very soon I will be able to earn an income from the dairy products. I am grateful for the support that changed our lives positively.

Most women and the old people were empowered, and everyone is happy and grateful, I don't see anything that the organisation is not doing it well.

I depend on farming for my livelihood, unfortunately, I no longer have the energy to cultivate a bigger piece of land due to my old age, My wife and I depend on milk daily, We use 1litre of milk daily which is KES 45, and this is very expensive for us, therefore when I received my transfer 1 bought 3 cows worth KES 52,000, We are happy that we own dairy cows now and we no longer need to buy milk.

Upon receiving the money, our happiness was way too high having in mind that all the fantasies we had on investments were soon going to happen. We had all plans laid down, and confirmation of the receipt was our first step in realizing the first goal. We came into an agreement to clear the minor debts we had and second on the list was to ensure that we obtain at least a good breed of a cow since we had been buying milk all along.

Having a herd grazing on our field is one good feeling which like in any other household has really raised our status. Our fields have been deserted for quite a long time since the whole herd we used to keep was sold when we needed school fees for our children. This investment has spared us a lot of expenses since we are currently producing enough milk both for our household and a surplus to sell to the neighborhood. We are really grateful for this turnaround and are expectant that the second transfer will even bring other greater changes to our household.

Receiving the first transfer was a great deal of a blessing to our household. We decided to spend part of it on obtaining a heifer and one lactating cow. This was a chance for us to redeem ourselves and get back to the livestock keeping after selling the previous herd to pay school fees for my sons. With the remaining portion, we had other great plans to invest in but my sister-in-law was hospitalized then. Being one of the family members whom most of my younger brothers look up to, I had to stand in and ensure that the admission cost to the hospital was cleared. We are all glad that she is now well even though she is still under medication.
