"My ambition has been to purchase a motorcycle taxi for business, but due to financial challenges, this dream has never been fulfilled. Receiving this money means filling it I am planning to spend all the transfer to purchase it. This is going to generate income for my family. In a month, I can make 15000 shillings. This amount is enough to sustain all the basic needs of my family. Approximately, my family spends 10,000 shillings for their basic needs such as food. I will save the remaining amount for our future life."

"My household majorly depends on motorcycle taxi business operated by my husband. We are happy to have this source of income even though it is not a stable and it doesn't earn us enough to gather for our needs and savings. To me receiving this money means a change in life. I am planning to spend much of it on livestock. I feel my life will greatly change in that I will have added asset that can give us more milk for household use and sales. I will have calves that will be my future financial securities thus I foresee a better life to come."

"The happiest part of my day is in the morning. As a motorcycle taxi operator and a farmer,morning is when I get to do a lot. Most of my clients travel in the morning hours while for farming, morning is the best time to work because of the scorching sun later in the afternoon."

"As a footballer, my leg broke about 5 months ago when I collided with another player from the opponent's side. Since I have no insurance cover or a sponsor, I had to spend virtually all my savings on medication services. As such, my dream of opening a shop faded away since I had no capital left. Accordingly, I have somehow lost hope of raising the required funds since the little income that I normally attain from my motorbike business could barely sustain us. However, I greatly thank God for healing me. Hence, breaking my leg while playing soccer served as the biggest hardship I have faced in life."
