"Life is now different, I have a well roofed house, rain will not be a problem anymore."

"For all those years I have been living in a poverty life more so my house, it was very small and in very critical condition. Some of its walls and collapsed and its roof could leak excessively whenever it could rain. During that period, I used to seek assistance from my neighbors whose houses were quite far from my home. This was so tiring and stressful at but I knew God will see us through someday and no situation is permanent in life. Therefore after receiving my cash transfers I had to prioritize constructing a decent spacious house. I am now happy becasue after all, what I went through during these days has come to an end. We are now living peacefully as a family under one roof which makes the biggest difference in my life."

"I spent part of my first transfer on buying building materials such as iron sheets, nails, threads, and building poles. I opted to buy all these with an intention of constructing a modern house because the previous one was a tradtionsl hut with a leaky roof. Also, I bought livestock which includes four goats at a total of KES 16000. These will now be the living assets that I will lean on in case of any financial constraints. With the remaining amount of money, I bought enough foodstuff got the family"

"It's been in my plans to build an iron-roofed house for my growing family. The current house I have is a grass-thatched house meaning I can't harvest clean rainwater for consumption. Our source of water is far and it's a seasonal river, it's water isn't usually good for consumption. It's also very tiresome carrying water on the back since we don't any other means. I moved to this current place a year ago and I haven't had enough money to build a house. This house will cost me ksh 30000. For the rest of the amount, I will purchase a cow for Ksh 40,000."

"I am very happy and thankful to receive this money because I have never been in any program like this. I will use this money to fix the roof of my house."

"Receiving this money means so much to me. I am tired of living in a house with a roof made of grass, this time I will surely buy iron sheets and enough food."

"This money means that I will be able to build a house. The house I live in is not durable and it's thatched with grass. With this money I will buy iron sheets so that I can stop changing the roof of my house every year."

"I admired mt friends who have ironsheets on their roof so when I received the money I was so happy because I couldn't manage to buy them myself"

"When i recieved the money my money, i went to the boma and bought 22 iron sheets as well as nails and wires for the roofing of the house that i am planning on building. I also bought 10 bags of maize for my household as we did not harvest enough maize to last us the year. I have saved some of the money so that i can pay the builder when the time to build my house comes."

"To me, receiving this money means I will be able to establish a better incoming generating activity at home. I am planning to spend KES80000 to invest in farming. I wish to use KES45000 to put up a chicken poultry farming in my compound since with this I will be able to collect eggs that I will use for household consumption and sales for income. In addition, I will use KES35000 to buy a dairy cow to add to my herd. Having more cattle in my farm means more milk production thus a higher income. With this higher income from farming, I will be able to meet my household's daily needs and children's education. We receive low rainfall in our area hence getting clean water is sometimes a hard task here. When I receive my cash transfer, I will use KES18000 to buy a 2300 litre water tank thus I will be able to collect clean rainwater from my iron roof and this will ensure I have clean water for my domestic use at my doorstep. I wish to spend another KES12000 to buy furniture and other household basic needs."
