"The biggest hardship that I have faced is that I have been constantly getting sick , they diagnosed me with stroke on one side of my body and I been taking medicine for hypertension"

"I thank God that GD has come to our village. Some of my children are still schooling and it has been very hard for me to provide all necessary materials. I will use the money to buy them clothes, notebooks and pay school fees. I also intend to finish my house such that I will buy iron sheets and all needed items. I will also buy food and also use the money in buying medicine for my sick mother. I am so grateful for the enrollment."

"My Child is epileptic and I have to go to hospital ever two weeks to get medicine. This is a challenge as I need transport every time and I sometimes do not have the transport to go with him to the hospital."

"My life different than it would have been if I never received the transfer in that I no longer have to worry about the future of my 5 children's after supporting their educational needs. Previously, I was struggling to educate them , most of the time they were send home due to school fees. This affected their performance and they had to repeat classes since most of the time they were at home. Furthermore, I was able to improve the livestock rearing by purchasing 12 more goats and purchasing veterinary medicine to treat them whenever they fall sick."

"It was exactly 9 o'clock, I was sick and resting in my room after taking some medicine. I was awakened by the continuous loud message notification on my phone. Being illiterate, I could not understood the messages and called my helper who ascertained that it was the transfer I had been eargly waiting. Joy filled my heart after receiving my transfer and I had to inform every member of the household about the good news. We all celebrated for receiving the transfer."

"The biggest hardship that I face is poor health. I have a high blood pressure condition that requires me to constanly take medicine. I am no longer strong enough to work on my farm which was my only source of income and to produce food for the household. I even have to sell my chicken to pay for medicine and to even take care of my ailing husband."

"Receiving this money means an improved living standard to my household. This is because I rely on casual labor-charcoal burning business which is tiresome, labor-intensive, and earns at most Kshs.1,200 per week which is not enough for my needs. I plan to spend a portion of the transfer to pay school fees for my children so that they get education. I will also spend Kshs.37,000 to buy two indigenous cows and ox plough that I will hire to my neighbors to earn a living. The remaining amount will help me cater to other basic needs such as food and medicine."

"I had been sick for the last two months diagnosed with ulcers. I was in the house relaxing on my bed after taking a morning dose of medicine when I heard a message notification on my phone. I had to call my helper who confirmed the receipt. I felt very happy for receiving the transfer since the desire of boosting my livestock rearing will be attained."

"I am a farmer who does animal farming. Receiving this money means increase in the number of animals in my farm. Currently I have two cows and nine goats. Upon receiving the money, I will buy 15 goats as investment. This will cost Ksh. 52500. I will also buy a bed and two mattress at a cost of Ksh.15000. I will use the remaining money to buy animal medicine and food for my family."

"Receiving this money means I will have a better house than what I have! I will rebuild my house to a better one .I will buy 22 iron sheets which will cost 15,400, shillings ,buy nails for 2000 shillings, and buy timber for my house which will cost 5,000.The labour will cost 13, 000 shillings .I don't have food in my house and I am sick so I will buy food for 5,000 shillings and the remaining amount I will use it for my treatment because I have blood pressure which needs frequently medical attention and medicine."
