"When I received my second transfer, I used the larger portion to buy construction materials that I used to complete my house which my husband left halfway when he died. I used the remaining amount to dig a well. I feel so happy for a better shelter and clean water. This has protected me from harsh climate and security in general. "

"I spent my second transfer to urchase water pump and pipes worth 33,000KES. The rest of the money I also used to cultivate my land and bought vegetable seeds. I am now able to provide food for my family due to the little money I receive from the firm"

"I spent most of the money in buying building materials to repair my house which was in a poor state. My family now has a much more better place to call home and I know this will come a long way. Part of the money I spent on pipping water in my house. Water is life and having a constant source of it has saved me from the stress of fetching water from a far and at times going without it. The rest of the money came in handy in paying my sons medical bills when he was admitted to hospital after an accident. I thank God he is now healed."

"My husband is a casual labourer and he at times has to hire tools and equipment for his work to continue. I bought for him some tolls and equipment so that he can save on the hiring fees. My house has not been in good state so I have purchased some building materials that I want to use to repair both my house and my grand father's we are only waiting for rains so that we can get water for the work.My children were sleeping down on a mat,I was able to buy a double bed and a mattress and now they are sleeping well and cannot be infected with diseases. I was pregnant at the time I got this transter and really helped me to settle hospital bills when I delivered, I don't know what I could have done had it not been for the transfer.I eat well and I am also able to boost my business which will help my entire family."

"Receiving this money is a blessing to me , I am so happy about it because it will give me an opportunity to change my life and face some of the challenges boldly like building a better house & buying water tanks to help me conserve water which I can also use for irrigation"

"I spent my first transfer to a bicycle as we wanted to use it for fetching water to make bricks for constructing our house as our house is leaks whenever it rains. We also rented out land for growing rice when it rains as we don't have enough land for growing enough food for our family "

"The biggest hardship that I have is how I can pay school fees for my children. My husband and I use a donkey to sell water and that cannot sustain us and pay school fees."

"Receiving this money means we will experience change in our lives.This is because we intend to buy a water pump that will help us in our farm."

"Receiving this money is a great reprieve to me because I will be able to settle fee balances for my two children in university and also buy a water tank to ensure we have enough water even during dry spells."

"I am planning to buy water tank because we have water shortage in my area.To buy barbed wire and a gate so that I can fence my home to be safer."
