"The biggest hardship I have faced in life is failure to continue with my efucation. In the year 2015, I conceived and I had to stay at home until I gave birth. At first, I thought I will continue with my education after giving birth but that hope was shattered by my parents and I had to stay at home and fend for my child; and consiquently it marked the end od my education."

"The biggest hardship I have faced in my life was lack of school fees to cater for my educational needs. At the moments I have to do odd jobs as my age mates are doing white collar jobs. This makes me feel frustrated in life."

"I use to struggle a lot when paying school fees for my children especially for those in college. I would borrow loans from KTDA in order to finance their education. I feel less stressed and even sleep soundly nowadays knowing I have no credit and fees is cleared for the current study period."

"Biggest difference is that In can now eat more comfortably than I used to do. Secondly, y kids will be able to complete their studies without trouble. One of the kids is completing his college education while the other one is completing his secondary education this year."

"I expect to have already started farming vegetable vegetables in the next six months, this will give me easy time in future especially in meeting my education needs."

"I have a new goal to enroll to an education course in college and this should come sooner likely with the second transfer."

"The four calves I bought with GD transfer has given me happiness in my daily life. I sold my cows some years back to gather for my children's' education till I was left with none. I have lived owning nothing since then and now the arrival of this calves has given me back sense of living. I am so happy with my current life."

"I am very happy and I can now see my kids who are still in school finish their education. I'll also use part of the transfer in buiding a house for my family and perhaps buy a dairy cattle. Thank you GD."

"Receiving this money means my son's dream of becoming a teacher is real. I am going to pay his school fees so that he can get his Kenya certificate of Secondary education. "

"My life is currently different from how it would have been if I had not received the transfers in that I am currently living a peaceful life in that I don't think a lot of hard casual jobs that I had to do before to afford my family basic needs. I am currently empower to do my own work which helps me relax and have better income than before. I am happier and more hopeful of good things to come in my future life more so that I have seen ability of giving my children education."
