"Receiving this money means building a better house for my family. Our current house is so small that it cannot accommodate all of us. This made me built a small chicken pen like structure to shelter my 2 boys. I share the single roomed house with my 3 daughters and whenever my husband comes home, my eldest daughter is forced to sleep in our neighbour's house. Besides this, the house is in a very poor state. Its walls are collapsing and the roof is leaking, making it unbearable during heavy down pour."

"Building a three roomed iron roofed house at an estimate cost of $300, A poultry unit that will cost $50, buying 30 chicks @$2 each and their feeds as well as buying barbed wire and wiremesh for fencing my compound to restrict the chicken from destroying crops on my neighbour's farms is what receiving this money means to me. I will also use $150 to buy a dairy heifer that will be my source of income in future once it multipliers and produce milk for sale."

"I have been having the desire of owning a spacious house for my family of 6. Additionally, I had some projects which I started but came to an abrupt halt due to financial crisis. When I receive the transfer I intend to use 20,000 shillings to expand our house to three rooms. Also, I will use 20,000 shillings to boost my poultry commercial project by repairing the structure and adding more chicken. The remaining amount will be used to pay my children's school fees, buying food and clothing."

"My family of 8 has been living in this small one roomed hut since 2001. I have always wanted to build a three roomed iron roofed house that goes for $400 since then, but lack of finances has made it impossible. My children mostly spend their nights at their grand parents kitchen which inconveniences them walking at night. It is also shameful asking my neighbours to host my visitors at night whenever they come around. This money will therefore enable me to fulfill my all time wish. I will then spend $300 to buy a friesian dairy cow and $200 to build a poultry unit and buy chicken for rearing. Selling milk and eggs will earn me income to support my family needs, especially food and education for my children."

"Am a new couple wishing to have my dreams come true one day. Receiving this money is a lot of blessings where my dream of being a Paultry farmer will come to succeed. I will build a chicken house at a cost of $10,and start with hundred chickens at cost of $20 this will give a lot of income in few months to come since I will supply products to my nearby market.The remaining amount I will to provide food for my family."

"I spent part of my second transfer on buying a dairy cow and chickens at KES 20500. I have been yearning to own them for a long but I could not afford it since they were very costly. Also, I bought some beddings which include a bed and a new mattress. This was to replace the old beddings that we have been using for all those years. I then cleared some hospital bills for my children who have been unwell for quite some time. The remaining amount of money, I bought sufficient foodstuffs for my family and some other household items."

"My life is better in many ways since I started a taxi business. I receive a payment of my earnings every weekend and this being a regular income, is the best thing that has ever happened. I also can start a poultry keeping initiative because of the availability of money go buy the chicken needed and to feed them. I will use the savings from my taxi business to live a better life."

"I plan to spend most of my first transfer to build a permanent house. I used part of my transfer to buy livestock such as two goats, chicken that will act my personal assets."

"I spent part of my first transfer on buying a dairy cow and three goats and chicken which cost KES 29000. I later bought some beddings such as a bed and a mattress to replace the traditional bed that I have been using for all those years. I then bought a bicycle which is now helping me in fetching water from the dam. I also bought a water tank which will be helping me in collecting and storing rainwater. The remaining amount of money, I am using it in buying enough foodstuffs for my family that would take us to the next harvesting season."

"I spent part of my first transfer on buying some building materials such as iron sheets, building poles, timber, and nails. This was for the construction of a new house because the previous one was in a hectic condition and almost falling. I then bought some chicken as the living assets that I can lean on just in case of any financial difficulties. The remaining amount I am using it in buying enough foodstuffs for my family and some other household needs."
