"I plan to spend my transfer on plastering my unfinished house so that I stay in a decent place. Further, I will spend part of the transfer to buy and install a water reservoir tank because the main source of water in this place is river Yala which is far away from my home. I will have solved water inadequacy in my home."

"I am a horticultural farmer and during drought, watering the farms become so hectic as I have to carry the water on my head and make so many so trips. So when I received my third transfer, I bought a generator and pipes for pumping the water that takes a much shorter time and less energy. I also irrigate a large piece within a very short time. The remaining I spent on buying food for my family consumption."

I was tired of smearing with mud which was even expensive as I always had to buy water and the soil all the time I wanted to smear."

"I spent my second transfer on stalking good stuffs to feed my family and avoid the insidence of famine that had struck the area. I also bought a bicycle to help in transportation to and from various places like market, hospital, fetching water. I was also in position to repare my house since it was in total bad shape. I also did some shopping for Christmas and now keeping the balance to take back my children to school."

"I am planning to use the transfers in furnishing my house, pay school fees for my children and to buy a water tank that will aid in collecting rain water for future use as it rarely rains here and water sources are far too. "
