"I spent the larger part of my first transfer on buying a second- hand fishing net 4,000 KES and now I have a source of daily income since out of hiring my fishing nets I get 400 KES daily .I bought seed 1,500 KES and paid cultivation fees 4,000 KES"

"I used a portion of the transfer to pay my two children in high school fee. I invested a portion of the transfer in farming. Besides, I used the rest of the tranfer to maintain my fishing boat."

"Receiving this money will make my husband his own boss because we intend to buy fishing nets.This will increase our income."

"The happiest part of my day is in the morning when I go to the lake to hustle for casual jobs. We live around the lake region and there's alot of fishing activities."

"My biggest hardship is lack of good shelter.My house is so small but I make so little from fishing which can't allow me to build a bigger better one. "

"Receiving this money has brought me joy. I have been meaning to cement my house but due to lack of money, I have not been able to. With this money coming my way, I am planning to cement my house, start up a small business of my own as fishing is seasonal to help boost my family's income. Lastly I will spend it on my children's fees which has been a big concern to me."

"Receiving this money means the start of a much brighter future for my family.we plan to buy our own fishing boat and all the necessary equipments so that my husband can be fishing using his own vessel as I sell the fish in the market"

"Receiving this money means the start of a promising future for my family.Through the transfer, my husband will be able to purchase his own boat and engine to be fishing with.This will enable him to earn more to support the family unlike presently where he is earning too little as a helper in someone else's boat."

"Hiring a boat for fishing is always tiresome."

"The biggest hardship hardship I have faced is sickness, I have been unwell for sometime and it prevents me even from doing my usual work of fishing, this in turn make it difficult to feed my family."
