"I earn a living by farming and raising livestock like chicken and goats. In the coming year and beyond, I am planning to add more of them for sale in case of any emergency. I will also be employing someone to take care of them as I do have other errands to take care of in the farm. In addition, I will start up a small business of selling groceries as it has high demand compared to other types of businesses."

"I have passion in selling ladies outfits. In the coming year and beyond, I am planning to expand my business in all the nearby markets so as to attract high profits. I will also be employing workers to take care of the businesses as it will be overwhelming due to high demand. I am planning to have a longer term solution for the kids school fees, I will therefore add more livestock like chicken and goats for sale for the kids school fees."

". I do subsistence farming like maize and beans to earn a living. In the coming year and beyond, I am planning to buy a larger piece of land for farming so as to harvest as much as possible. I also raise livestock like sheep and chicken although in small number, I am hopeful to add more of them so that in the future I will be selling out some to be used for educating my children who are still in Primary School."

"This year, my four-year-old daughter Nuru will begin school. She is my firstborn, and I want to give her everything. I'm a single mom who currently resides with my mother. My source of income is tailoring, but because of the chest issues I have, I am unable to work at it throughout the day, and as a result, I do not earn much money from it. I plan to start raising chickens and goats in order to supplement our household income and pay for school fees. They are quick to breed, can survive the drought we are experiencing, and are simple to manage.In the future, I intend to sell some of them to generate cash for our expenses"

"For the last one year, I have been supplying milk in the school that my children are in to reduce school debt, we used to supply about 20 litres of milk to school every day and in return, the school debt is reduced. Now that I have cleared the debt, I will be using the money from the milk we sell to buy a piece of land to start venturing into food farming or chicken farming. By the end of another year, I hope to have made enough money and finally buy the land we want."

"Since my son in college will be done with school in one year, I will have a chance to invest the money from my milk business to start rearing chicken, this will be a good investment since the amount of money required to start is not as much as most businesses. With as little as ksh 10000, I will comfortably start off and my son will be helping me out until I stabilize."

"I have already cleared my farm waiting for rain. For the past six months, we have experience drought that took the lives of my livestock, six goats, and four chickens. But recently we had rain and I am hoping for the rainy season to come so that I can cultivate my crops. This will help me not buy food, save money and start a business that will help me generate enough revenue for my family."

"I am a single mother of eight children, seven of whom are currently in school. Paying their school has been difficult, but the first transfer has eased the burden. With $85, I was able to pay off all of my primary school children's debts. Foreseeing a future challenge when they reach secondary school, I spent $160 on four goats that I intend to breed and sell the offspring to pay their tuition. I also purchased two sets, one for my children and one for myself, each with a mattress for a total of $240.We had been sleeping on wretched bedding our entire lives, and we are relieved that we can now sleep on clean and comfortable bedding. I used some of the remaining funds to purchase four chickens worth $22 each, which I am raising alongside the goats and selling the eggs to cover smaller household bills. With the remainder, I purchased food for my family of nine."

"I am a student in my third year pursuing bachelors in education. I used part of the transfers of kshs 20,000 to pay for my tuition fees. Before the transfers, I used to sell out some of my livestock like chicken and goats to pay school fees, it was never enough and mostly my relatives could chip in. I also bought two cows for kshs 30,000 for the purposes of paying dowry. Once I will be done with my studies I will be marrying and by then my cows would have multiplied in number since both of them are female."

"At the moment, I am planning to start poultry farming as an additional source of income alongside the dairy farming I have been doing. I have been learning by watching my neighbor's project, which now has over 50 birds and can lay at least sixty eggs every two weeks. This will be a great initiative that will cover all of my family's daily expenses. I have been saving money from other farming activities, and I believe I will be able to start building a chicken coop in the next month and bring in chickens early next year."
