"In Baringo county, goat rearing is a norm, infact, a sign of wealth. Who does not want to be rich anyway? Of course not me. When I receive these transfers, I intend on using KES 60000 to purchase 20 goats. I do like goats because they breed so fast and within 1 year, the numbers are 2 fold. If I run out of money, I will not worry because I will sell some of the goats to earn income as well as milk for my family of 3. Furthermore, I plan on engaging in goat trading on the market days in Marigat. I will be grateful to save up the profits for paying up school fees for my son in future when he joins schools and assist my wife Joywin, in running the household needs such as food."

"Living as an Internally displaced person for the past eight years has not been easy. In 2014, we were displaced by floods from Lake Bogoria. Unfortunately, we lost everything and we have been hosted since then in a neighbouring village. We are not stable because we cannot farm freely in the land that we borrowed. I desire to own a piece land where we can build a permanent house for my family of nine. This has not been possible for a lack of stable income as the KES 6000 I get from selling two goats every month is hardly enough to cater to medication for my ailing husband, school fees for my five school going children and food. I am more than happy because receiving this transfer would mean betterment of life and good living conditions. I plan on using the money to buy half-acre land and the rest will go into clearing school fees in arrears of KES 60,000 for my children. We are delighted as this transfers is Godsent and it will change our lives."

"The only way to live comfortably in future is to be financially independent. When I got involved in an accident, I stopped going to the farm meaning I have no source of income as we speak. I want to start up a bee-keeping farming for commercial purposes. There is high demand for honey and also it's nature of independence from the owner makes me want to shift to it. I plan on venturing into the business using the transfers at a cost of KES 30,000 by purchasing fifteen beehives at KES 2000 each. From this I project on earning KES 75,000 per harvest which will help me sustain my family needs comfortably. The rest of the transfers I will use it to buy goats and chicken. I am glad because in the near future I will have a stable source of income when I invest into bee-keeping and livestock keeping."

"The transfers means a lot for me because I will be able to build a house for me and my grandkids since the house we are living in is small and also whenever it rains water gets in. I would build a three bedroom house at $800 so that my grandchildren can get a spare room to themselves. I would also buy a goat that will sustain us into the future. The transfers will clearly change my life in a great way."

"I desire to invest in livestock and poultry farming. Since I can not depend on farming, raising livestock is my second option. I will buy about three goats at $30 each and construct a chicken coop. With this investment, I will be able to support my children's education and possibly see them through college. The other project I want to capitalize on is putting up a water point for myself. I will need about $150 to tap the water from my neighbors. All I picture when I look at my unused land is a vegetable garden, with different types of vegetables for commercial and subsistence use."

"I prioritized purchasing a young goat for $14 as soon as I received my recent transfer. I only had two goats at the time, despite my desire to keep more livestock. I am glad I have three goats right now. Because I am unemployed, I make charcoal for sale while my husband works on house construction jobs, which are always rare to get. As a result, my family of eight members has difficulty obtaining food and attending school. As a result, I spent the remainder of the transfer, $10 on fees and $6 on maize flour, ensuring that we had enough food for a week."

"We plan on buying 10 bags of maize so that our children are happy and are well fed daily. Then we plan on building a strong house for ourselves and our kids so that we have a decent sleeping place like some of our friends in this village. Thereafter we plan on buying 10 goats and breed them for business. This way we'd maintain our cash flow even after the transfers from your organisation are done. For now we can't put prices on these expenditures because costs keep rising daily nowadays."

"First thing we've always wanted to do is build ourselves a house. So receiving this money means that we'd be able to finally do that and have ourselves a decent sleeping place. This would cost us about 300$ and we'd start this project in a month's time after receiving the money. The rest of the money we plan on investing it into livestock farming. For starters, we'd buy 5 goats and breed them so that they support us in future after we start selling them."

"Receiving this money would mean that we'd be able to buy food. For now we'd buy 4 bags of maize, for food is life and with energy we are able to be productive. As a HH we'd take part of that money and open up a shop selling groceries right here. We'd do this in a week's time soon after receiving this money. We'd also venture into livestock farming thus, goats, ducks and chicken. We'd broaden our investments in this way because we believe that this money might be our gateway out of poverty and we'd be set for life in terms of improved livelihood."

"This has to be in June when I sold my millet at 50$. I used this money to buy a bag of maize for food and a goat. This brought me joy for I was able to provide for my family in such a way."
