"My children are very young and my house has a leaking roof. Whenever it rains, the house becomes very cold and sometimes our beddings get socked. This has really affected my children's health because I cant afford to buy iron sheets to fix my roof. The land where I built this house also has a high water table and every time during the rainy season ground water fills the fireplace thus making lighting fire for cooking food difficult and sometimes we end up sleeping hungry and cold because the fire can't light. This money will help me build a new decent house with a cemented fireplace to prevent ground water from rising during the wet season. My children also will sleep happily and warm."

"Receiving this money means alot to my family. I had started building a semi permanet house but due to lack of source I have not completed. We have been praying to God to atleast open a way for us to get money to complete it. The one we have now is not specious for my family of six, has leaking roof and it acts as both kitchen and bed room. Mostly my children are not comfortable especially when they are studying. Incase I get this transfers I will purchase doors and windows that was still remaining and use the remaining amount to pay school fees and buy basic needs."

"We have lived in this village for the last 30 years and all this time we have never had water at our door step. We get our water from a river 4 kilometers away from here. In 2017, I got an injury on my leg and since then I really struggle to carry my 20 liter jerrycan from the river. Sometimes we even go without clean drinking water in this house which poses a threat to our health. With these transfers I would like to buy a 5000 liter tank and harvest rain water from our roof and this would really help my family."

"Our house collapsed a year ago due to heavy rainfall. This forced us to build a very small structure as temporary shelter, little did we know that it would become our permanent house. Since then we live in a very poor house that is not fit for human life. The walls are damaged and the roof is almost blown away making it a threat to our security. This has forced 5 of us to seek shelter in our neighbour's house. Receiving this money therefore means constructing a good to achieve our life long dream."

"I have always admired livestock farming but I have never heard enough money to start. With this money I will buy two cows at a cost of 300 USD. As the number multiplies,I will be able to start other projects and deal with emergencies that sometimes arise. The roof to my house leaks during the rains. This has been a problem for a while now,but with this money I will be able to replace the iron sheets and do some other renovations."

"I have been wishing to build another house after the current house's roof was blown away by wind.When I receive the money I will use 40,000 Kenya shillings to build a two roomed house. I will also use 40,000 Kenya shillings to buy 2 cows and 5 goats which will provide income and assist in times of need. The remaining amount will be used for basic needs such as food and clothing."

"An iron-roofed house for myself normally is what always rings in my mind whenever I think of getting a lump sum amount of money. Despite having this great ambition, this has never come through due to the financial crisis. Receiving this money, therefore, means a dream fulfilled because I am now confident that, I will soon have the opportunity to construct a spacious house, and to achieve this, I plan to spend utmost 350 dollars. On the other hand, I also intend to buy more goats to continue with my livestock keeping and I wish to purchase 10 of them at an estimated cost of 30 dollars each. This will mean a great change in my life and obviously, a better life than I have desired for a long time."

"I shall use the money to buy household utensils, mattress,clothes and also finally afford an iron sheet roof for my house."

"It means now I shall have a home with a iron roof and a good looking house"

"I have been desiring to build a new house for the longest time now. I am intending to use my transfer to build a two-roomed house since this has not been spacious and it acts as both kitchen and bedroom. To make the situation worse it has been leaking.I plan to purchase 30 pieces of iron sheets at 500 each and 40 pieces of roofing frames at shillings 300 each. The motive of my aspiration is because whenever I have visitors I feel embarrassed because of smoke. Receiving this money will a lot to me as it will change the face of my family."
