"This has been a very major and positive step towards enriching people's lives as they have been able to build much better houses, buy water tanks for storage ensuring they lack no water and in general improve livelihoods."

"My husband died ten years ago and left me with two daughters. They dropped out school because of fees challenge. The house I was left with fell down and because I had nothing to put up a new good house, I managed to construct a one room grass-thatched house. It is where me and my two daughters have been sleeping. It is becoming very uncomfortable each day because one of my daughters gave birth to a son and he is now grown up. Sharing the same room with my grandson traditionally is wrong. And it's for that reason, I have decided to use my transfer to build a two bedroom house even if it's semi-permanent. This will definitely revive my status and confidence in the society."

received a $467 second payment.
"In my opinion, this is the best organization so far because of the best services they offered us as the recipients. First, the cash transfers were sent directly to our mobile phones. According to me, this stood out because having the cash in my account made me plan on the items I needed the most. I, therefore, do not see any sector the organization needs to change."

"Financial instability is the current challenge that I am facing. This has forced me to engage in charcoal work to earn money that will support my children's education. Considering this income which is as little as KES 3000 per month, it can not fully cater to their school fees as well as sustain our basic needs like food. We occasionally, skip meals or even borrow from relatives something that ashamed me a lot."
