"The money will help me to buy livestock's and to buy iron sheet's. I separated with husband three years ago and since then I have been living with my three children. Living alone, has made me realize that if I die today, my children will be left with nothing that will support them in paying school fees. For that, I want to use the money to build a house and livestock's. I want to build a house that will last for so many years. I Will also use the money to buy livestock especially goats. The goats will help me to sale in future and that money will be used to pay for school fees. Thanks for the cash gift, it will really improve my financial status. On monthly basis I make K2000 on average from piece works such as washing clothes and working in farming fields."

"I am very happy to receive this money. I will use the money to build a house as you can see I leave in a house made of grass. I will use some of the money to buy a goat that I can keep. I will also buy a matress so that I can sleep comfortably. I will use the remaining money to start a fish selling businesses."

"Receiving this money means getting a new and safer house for my household. Currently, I am living in a grass-thatched house that is leaking during the rainy season. I am planning to spend my entire first to construct a 2 bedroom house so that we can live a decent life. I will also spend KES 30000 to buy 10 goats that will act as a long-term investment project for my family. The remaining amount will cater to household expenses like food."

"Receiving this money means investment to me. In my community, the only investment one can have is either goats or cows. I do not have even one. Upon receiving the money, I will buy 20 goats at a cost of 58000 KES. This will help me in future for emergency uses. I will also use 40000 KES to clear school fees for my son who is in secondary school. The school fee balance is 40000 KES. I will use the remaining 12000 KES to buy food for the family."

"Receiving this money means good education, decent housing for my children and livestock production. I have 4 children who are now teenagers. The first born is 17 years old and the last born is 7 years old. Living with my children in the same house makes me very uncomfortable. I am planning to construct a separate house for my four children at a total cost of 20,000 KES. Still, my children are attending school ( Mnagoni primary school). Paying their school is a challenge for me. I am planning use 10,000 KES to clear their fee arrears. For a few years now, I have had the desire of being a livestock farmer, due to lack of enough money, I don't own even a single goat. I intend to use 20,000 KES to buy 5 goats. These goats will act as a bank for me. In a period of two years, they will have multiplied and I will be able to sell some of them to earn an income. My children are still growing, and I would want them to advance in their education. I will save the rest of the money for the main purpose of my children's education."

"Receiving this money means a safer house for me. This is because I currently do not have a house. I sleep outside and during rainy seasons I am forced to look for shelter at my brother's house. I am planning to spend my entire first transfer to construct a two-bedroom house. With my second transfer, I will spend KES 15000 to buy a bed and mattress to give nice and comfortable sleep. I will further spend KES 30000 to buy 10 goats that will act as a long-term investment project for my household. The remaining amount will cater to household expenses like food."

"Receiving this money means continued education for my family. I am a housewife and my husband relies on the charcoal burning business which earns him very little KES 1200 per week. I am planning to spend KES 20,000 to clear the fee balance for my children. I will also use KES15000 to repair the roof of my house which is leaking. The remaining amount will use it to buy ten indigenous goats which do well in our area and cater to other basic needs such as food."

"I am a widow with a family of six children. One of these children is currently in college studying electrical engineering. He depends on me to meet his educational costs. It has not been easy educating this child because I have been depending on his elder brothers to meet his academic costs. However, this is not possible at the moment because they lost their jobs as a result of covid 19. I am now forced to engage in charcoal burning business to raise his school fees and other academic costs. This business is not reliable and earns me less than 2000 KES a month, which is not enough to sustain my needs. I intend to use the first cash transfers to clear college fee balances for my child. I will use the second transfer to but a bed and a mattress that will cost 20000 KES. I will also use the remaining amount to buy food and three goats as an investment for my future."

"Receiving this money means a stable source of income for my family. This has been my longing, but due to financial instability, this dream has never arisen. This I plan to achieve by practicing livestock business ( buying goats and sell them at a profit of at least 1500 KES per goat). I intend to spend 50,000 KES for the start. This will generate income for my family of 5 members and enable us to live a life without many struggles. Also, the remaining about I will invest on my children's education so that they can have a bright future."

"I spent my transfer in buying a cow and some goats because I didn't have any of it. This animals will help in income generation when I start selling the milk from them. They will support my family nutritiously since they will have enough milk to drink and it will enable me save the cash I used to buy it with.. I will also sell their offsprings later when need like school fees arises for my children."
