"I have a plan of building one extra house for my children when I receive this money. This will accommodate my children better because I have only two small rooms accommodating my 8 children together with me and my spouse. This will cost me approximately 200 USD. I will then use 750 USD to add more livestock to the small herd I have. I will buy 15 goats and 3 oxen."

"I have always wished to build a more spacious iron-roofed house but this plan has never materialized due to lack of finances. I have 2 school-going children, one in secondary school and the other in college. The 3-acre piece of land that I cultivate maize in is no longer productive due to prolonged drought in this region hence I spend all the money I earn from selling the 4 bags of maize in paying school fees. Receiving this money will therefore enable me to build the house using $300. I also intend to spend $500 to buy sheep and goats that will be my store of wealth since I will be selling them after they multiply to fulfill my family necessities."

"Receiving this money means building a bigger house. This has been my ambition for the past 5 years but I have not been able to achieve it, due to my low financial status. Our single roomed house cannot accommodate the 5 of us, forcing 2 of my children to seek shelter at their grandmother's house. Besides, I will purchase goats and use them as a source of income to cater for my children's school fees, as well as respond to financial emergencies. Goats are suitable because they reproduce quite faster and are drought resistant."

"A separate house is generally what receiving this money means to me and this is because, as a polygamous household, we share one room with my co-wife including some of her young children. This has made our room look so congested since it's occupied by 3 beds yet it's small. I have desired to own a separate room and I intend to spend utmost $350 to have this desire achieved. On the other hand, I also wish to start livestock keeping and I intend to start with 10 goats which will cost me $30 each. This will change my livelihood and hence, a better living."

"For many years I have been herding other people's cattle. Receiving this money will help me own my own livestock. I will start with 20 goats. With each goat costing 30 USD, it will cost me 600 USD. This will serve as a good source of income in years to come."

"Receiving this money means I will be able to fulfill my dream of owning a spacious house and proceeding with my livestock rearing project. I will use 40,000 shillings to build 2 houses, one will be mine, and the other one for my 6 girls. Since they are growing I find it very difficult to live with them in my one-roomed house, even there is no privacy. I also intend to use 50,000 shillings to buy 4 cows and 5 goats which will help me in any financial emergency. The remaining amount will be used to buy food for the family."

"I live in abject poverty as a result of lacking a stable source of income. This is because I do not have any formal education to enable me secure a job. My biggest ambition is to educate my children because I don't want them to end up suffering like me. Since education is a process, I will need stable financial resources to achieve my goal. Receiving this money therefore means, reviving my goat rearing project for the stated purpose. I once had this project but I sold all of them to educate my 3 older children."

""Receiving this money means getting back my sight. I am widow who has been having eyes problems for almost 1 year now. Due to financial challenges I have failed to seek proper medication from referred hospital. I was supposed to undergo an eyes operation since last year but I failed. I am planning to spend first transfer to seek treatment in pertained hospital and cater for all the expenses e.g bills and transport. Besides treatment, I will use the extra amount to purchase 10 goats, this will generate income to me because I can sell them when they multiple.""

"Receiving this money will help me expand my grocery business. I will inject 100 USD to the business. This will increase my income which will help me pay school fees for my children. I will also buy 5 goats each at a cost of 30 USD. I also have school fees arrears that I am supposed to clear before schools reopen. This money will help me do that."

""My ambition has been to practice livestock rearing. I have wished to keep goats because they can survive in our harsh dry environment and also they multiple first. Receiving this money means fulling my desire. I am planning to spend 80,000 shillings to purchase 40 goats. This is a good number for the start. I will be selling them when they multiple and educate my children who are still in lower classes. Other than goats, I will invest the extra amount on paying school fees for my children.""
