"I used 35000 KES to buy a bull which is being used for ploughing farms thus fetching me some income. I then used 4000 KES to pay school fees for my children and used the rest on buying water containers, utensils and foodstuffs. "

"My happiest part of the day is morning, because i am a fisherman and we fish at night, and in the morning is when we sell our fish to get income. When the catch is good, i am sure that my family will have something to eat. Again spending the whole night in water is hard, but coming back in the morning safely, makes me happy since i will be able to join my family again."

"I spent my first transfer on buying a matress and a bicycle. The bicycle is to help me aid transport in long journeys and most importantly transportation of water since we fetch it from far."

"I spent the third transfer on paying school fee for my son who is in high school. I also bought an ox for ploughing which has really changed my farming style. I then bought water pipes which I am using for directing irrigation water to my farm."

"I used the largest share of my second transfer to renovate my house since it had grown so old with cracked walls and holes on the floor. I will use the balance to dig a shallow well in my compound to rid myself of the water problem."

"The biggest hardship we are currently facing is lack of sufficient food and water for my family, this has been caused by drought and poor weather condition in the current and last season."

"Receiving this money is a boost to my farming since I will be able to acquire water storage tanks to ensure constant water availability in my farm, and buy oxen to help plough my farm in good time."

"The biggest hardship am facing is economic instability,my husband is fisherman and we all depend on him for provision of basic needs right now he cant go fishing due to water hyacinth hence finding it hard to fend for my family."

"The biggest hardship am facing is drought,the lands are very dry and getting water is a problem I have to travel over 3 hours to get water for the household."

"Am glad for am planning to buy a water pump that will boost my agricultural productivity."
