"The biggest difference in my daily life is that I am happier and hopeful because I now have assets to depend on in case of a financial crisis in terms of goats. This has been my dream to own them for quite a long time but I supervision afford to buy even one. I settled for them because they mature very fast, they require minimal supervision also they reproduce twice a year. Through this, I am positive that the poverty life that I have been undergoing for years shall come to an end. Also as they reproduce and multiply. I will be able to sell some to invest the money in some other projects like starting a kiosk business. In addition since my spouse and I rely on temporary jobs, we are planning to save part of the money from the sale of the goat for our children's fees once they join the school. Also, I will be able to cater to the family's basic needs effectively which has been a challenge because I had nothing to rely on before." (Occupation: Motorcycle or bicycle taxi)

"My wife got pregnancy with a lot of complications which made me drain all my money. We have struggled without food as a family.I have seven children with the first one in secondary school. My children cannot stay in school for a whole term without being sent home to collect fees. I asked a friend of mine to help me with his motorbike so that I could get anything for my family. The job is not doing well. Sometimes I make less than 150KES a day. I have longed to reopen my cafe business but financial limitations have always hindered my wish."

"I stay with my three children in the same room.Apart from the house being small, the roof leaks during rain season.Receiving this money will help me get a better house. With 20 iron sheets, I will be able to construct a two bedroom house which will accommodate my children and myself.This will cost approximately 20000KES." (Occupation: Motorcycle or bicycle taxi)

"I have new goals that I want to accomplish. I want to build my own house because the house that I am living in right now belongs to my brother. I also want to buy a motorcycle for my husband to do business with it in order to raise more money for the family. Apart from the two I also want my own business as well to help my husband with the family expenses."

"The biggest difference in my daily life is that I have financial security in that no matter how my day goes I would still be able to feed my family. Another thing is that I now have hopes of getting a motorcycle which would be used for business and increase our income."
